Next step: Large swap file. Finally: changed the distribution. sort is one the biggest hidden problems. There are broken sorts around, I guess some of the problems are character set specific. There is no more EBCDIC but UTF-8 and UTF-16 are even worse. Related to sort, you may have more than enough memory or swap but your process wont get it. You can avoid sorting by looking into the "/proc" files. proc2pl might get you ideas, from the ISAON tools on http://iason.site.voila.fr/ You might even sort or grep the output and you can always do that on a machine that is not your router.
