    hi

    i have a server amd64 athlon 3000+ with 1GB ram
    (dmesg,config can be found here: http://spm.usu.ru/_amd64/).
    FreeBSD 5.4 amd64

    running this script while server is idle:
    while 1
    ls > /dev/null
    end

    gives me the following output of vmstat -w 1

    hst# vmstat -w 1

    doing the same thing on freebsd 5.4,4.11 on i386 produces much less
    number of flt(page faults) which rarely goes above 4000-5000.
    I'm just trying to tune my apache with cgi version of php, which now
    have not so good performance. Is the high number of page faults ok on
    amd64? If not, what can be the reason and how can i reduce it ? i can
    provide any additional information.

    thanks in advance.
