How would I know what's causing my streams memory in use to be growing so
fast ? Is it because a lot of users now use pop3 to get their email through
our T1 using a DSL with 6 Mbits download and the unix can't keep up? I
recently increased the total configured streams memory to : 40000 KB so I
don't get the warning message about the streams memory reached plus I lose
the internet connections (specially the web server).
This is how it looks now :

total configured streams memory: 40000.00KB
streams memory in use: 4091.50KB
maximum streams memory used: 4934.43KB

That 4934.43Kb was 4400Kb yesterday and 4000 the day before yesterday.
