Re: High vm scan rate and dropped keystrokes thru X?

It has been a very long time since I had to look at UVM stuff, but 
luckily past me post to 
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-repository/2010/02/01/msg000364.html. 
Well done past me.

Copying from that post, I was using
  vm.anonmin = 10
  vm.filemin = 5
  vm.execmin = 5
  vm.anonmax = 90
  vm.filemax = 10
  vm.execmax = 30

Sounds normal enough.

That's 12GB of RAM in use and 86MB of RAM free. Sounds pretty awful to me.

What does top or vmstat -s say about pages active/inactive and 
anonymous/cachdd file/cached executable pages. This might give you a 
hint about where all your memory has gone and what it is being used for.

Cheers,
