I'm running my ASL on a P3 1GHz with a 7200 RPM drive, and it seems that the drive is constantly in use. I know that the http proxy's caching is partially responsible for this, but it seems like it's experiencing too much load. There seems to be some delay when typing at the console. I'm running 128 Megs of RAM. `cat /proc/meminfo` seems to report that physical memory is mostly used up. Also, `df -h` reports that /var/chroot-smtp has grown from 30 megs (yesterday) to 124 megs (today) - and smtp-proxy is turned off. I don't know what to make of this other than to add more RAM. Do most firewall distributions require big RAM these days? I'm used to good 'ol hand scripted ipchains rulesets, maybe the stateful packet inspection is a bit more intense?
