Tuning your operating system
Operating systems store information in the following places:
real (physical) memory
virtual memory
expanded storage
disk
Your operating system can also move information from one location to another. Depending on your operating system, this movement is called paging or swapping. Many operating systems page and swap to accommodate large amounts of information that do not fit into real memory. However, this takes time. Excessive paging or swapping can reduce the performance of your operating system and indicates that the system total memory might not be large enough to hold everything for which you have allocated memory.
To improve performance, increase the amount of total memory in your system or decrease the amount of solidDB database cache memory allocated.
