William, I have a client with 57 active IPs at present and archived Web Filtering log files that run from 1.5-to-4MB for workdays. They're on a server powered by an i3 with 7GB of RAM. Over the last month, since installing V9 on this unit, max CPU was 40%, but averages under 2% and rarely gets to 5%. Max RAM was 50%, but normally sits at about 30% about 2GB. There has been NO swap since the installation.
Another client has a new 120 with 2GB of RAM and 13 active IPs, at present. Average CPU is under 13%, usually about 20% during the day. Web Filtering log files are about half of the first customer's. RAM usage is normally under 70%, but sometimes gets up to 73% during the workday. SWAP keeps growing, but I haven't figured out yet what causes that. Of course, a reboot fixes it.
Both have Full Guard with Intrusion Prevention active.
At this point, I'm beginning to suspect that the issue is the release of space in the swap area as opposed to 2GB of RAM being insufficient.
Cheers - Bob

7 gigs you aren't going to swap on that machine unless you really start pounding it with traffic and/or you go nutso on the users..[:)]
