Dear DBAs,

        We have recently migrated Oracle from 8.0.6 on HP-Unix to
10.2.0.4 on Red Hat Linux

        Earlier the same application worked fine with 7GB RAM on HP-UNIX
on PA-RISC

        Upgraded system on IBM X 3850 with 16GB RAM but still we have
some performance issue. 

        I knew there is some lagging because of Hardware Architecture
but it is too bad 7 GB to 16GB RAM but still have performance. 

        Please look at data collected from RDA. Looking at this scenario
my physical memory is fullly used but Swap is not at all used. 

Total Physical Memory 16032 MiB 
Available Physical Memory 30 MiB 
Swap: Max Size 24575 MiB 
Swap: Available 24505 MiB 
Swap: In Use 70 MiB 

        We know there is some performance issue in application. I would
like to make as much as possible from Database/Linux side tunning to
provide atlease peaceful performance. Can any body through some light on
why the swap is not at all used.

Regards
