Hm,
      I think your definition from num-, max-, minfree are right (I think
so, but I'm not really sure)
If the reduction of the values maxperm/minperm a success does not have,
possibly the application is too large for your memory. Check your box with
svmon....
For example:
svmon -Uut 10
svmon -Put 10
and check the memory which your application load in the memory. Add the
values for 'EXCLUSIVE Segments'. Is ist more than 6GB?
I'm not a specialist in memory management, but I think so ;-)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With best regards,

oracle runs here, several instances.
there is much io on sequential files > 1GB, aprox. 15mbyte/sec. box has
6gb,6cpu. so I dont gain much from filecache.

I can set maxperm even lower, still have paging:
number of valid memory pages = 1572825 maxperm=4.0% of real memory
maximum pinable=80.0% of real memory minperm=2.0% of real memory
number of file memory pages = 228461 numperm=14.5% of real memory

Is the following correct:
If numperm > maxperm, only filepages will be stolen. So there should not be
paging-space usage.
If minperm > numperm > maxperm filepages will be stolen if their
repage-rate is higher than those of working storage.

The problem is long responsetime to short queries. So I set minfree to 600
and the responsetime increased a bit.

Anyway, I just dont understand why paging-space is used as long there are
more filepages then maxperm.
