Don't really 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?
