TWonky - Too many Instances
Hi
I noticed that my DNS323 was getting slower every day and I saw that the fun_plug was loading the lighttpd and rsync which I dont need so I just moved those scripts.
After that I run a top command and saw that only 1.3 MB of ram were free. Even knowing that I have mlnet and twonky running that was too much.
I noticed like 10 or more instances of twonky media server, each eating almost 9% or the ram.
I killed the processes and then commented the line from the fun_plug file.
Anyone is having the same issue?
Thanks!

These numbers are often misunderstood. It's normal that Linux starts using all the free memory over time. Usually, large amounts of RAM are used for e.g. file system or disk caches and I/O buffers. E.g. top on my dns323 shows the line:
Code:
Mem: 59812K used, 2040K free, 0K shrd, 11124K buff, 39304K cached
Only 2MB are 'really' free, but another 50MB (buff + cached) are available for applications on demand. The Gentoo people have a more detailed explanation here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management

Re: TWonky - Too many Instances
Nice. Thanks for the reply. And thanks for the fun_plug too 
I am not running the twonky media server now and it seems to be running a lot faster.
Could it be a problem that there are so many instances of the same process? Or is it normal? I am not familiar with ARM architecture so I cannot realize how fast the processor really is.

It's slower than my old Pentium II Celeron @266MHz, at least in terms of BogoMIPS:
Celeron 266MHz: 527.56
DNS323 ARM926EJ-Sid 500MHz: 331.77
Core2 2.4GHz: 4802 (per core)
