Re: st: Stata and memory use under linux (Off topic)

[Tom Trikalinos <ttrikalin@mac.com>]

I'm not a seasoned LINUX guy, but clarify this first
1. what amount of memory have you allocated to STATA? is your _set mem_ 
number really low?
2. On the other hand, are you working in  workstation with lots of RAM 
--> 0.9% is actually a large number?
all the best
