Don't for sure know what they mean, but aren't page faults if the
requested memory page is not in physical memory? If the overall
memory usage increases (and that is what happened) more and more
memory is moved to the swap and the likelihood of page faults raises.

What I/O Others is, I don't know. Does anybody know? Perhaps
socket/TCP operations?

I only use the default UDF's which come with firebird. That even
usage of these is very rare.

I installed Firebird several times now in almost equal
configuration, but lower load, and never had memory problems till
now. Don't know why...

On this list nobody seems to have any good ideas. Do you recommend
to post on the devel list? Or do you, the developers, have read this
already?
