I'm not sure I know enough to answer that, no matter how much I've studied
the subject lately, but I'm curious what you are basing your "in which case
I was wasting more than 700MB" concern on.  If you are looking at the
memory pool and the NSF Buffer pool, keep in mind that there are other
processes besides the buffer pool that will be making claims on that memory
pool.  Are you on ND6, also?  I would definitely recommend the redbook if
you are (actually, I think it's probably going to be informative, if not
directly useful, for about anyone).

   So,
   If I have 1.2 GB allocated to a (Fixed) memory pool used just for a
DPAR,
   and a SHOW STAT MEM shows that I'm only using 944MB, can I assume that
I'm
   wasting about 200MB with of memory and can reduce the pool size? Prior
to
   this message thread, our NSF Buffer pool was still manualy set at 300MB,
   in which case I was wasting more than 700MB?

   Mem.Allocated = 944,450,548
   Mem.Allocated.Process = 63,273,308
   Mem.Allocated.Shared = 881,177,240
   Mem.Availability = Plentiful
   Mem.PhysicalRAM = 1,258,291,200

   Yeah, I didn't try to quote the entire section of book -- we all know
I'm
   wordy enough without plagiarizing in my posts.  Right now, my pool size
is
   at the default 748 and my %reads yesterday are running 98% - 99%.
Today,
   the numbers are more reasonable, but they still indicate that a change
is
   in order.

   Thanks for the confirmation.

              Please respond to
              Lotus Domino on
                 the iSeries /

   That sounds about right. What's your current pool size? If you drop it
and
   the %reads goes below 95%, then you should raise it. Also, it's
generally
   recommended to raise or lower the buffer pool in increments of 10%.

   Something else I found out is that if you don't define the buffer pool
   size, then the defaults are as follows:

   NSF Buffer Pool ? how size is set
   Domino R5 - Set to 300 MB by default on iSeries
   Domino 6 - Set to 748 MB by default on iSeries
   Domino 7 - Set to 748 MB by default on iSeries

   What to monitor when fine tuning
   Non-database paging faulting = < 100 faults/processor
   Database.BufferPool.PercentReadsInBuffer >= 95%
   Database.DbCache.MaxEntries = 3 X BufferPool
