thank for those great replies.

i do understand it is a virtual mem space . pointers to actual
processes in a crude sense. however recently we had a system non
responsiveness issue and folks seem to point their fingers at the high
/proc space (2.7T). I will look into the connection/response issue
further.

One last question:

Rebooting a system would clean up /proc. Would this have any effect
on system performance. I don't think so but would like some
confirmation.

regards,

abhimanyu.
