Just wondering, and this is a wild stab in the dark, have any of you guys
played with the memory_pools option? The whole concept of an application
doing a better job of managing memory than the OS it runs on seems flawed to
me, so I turn memory_pools off.

I have a feeling that if cachemgr is not reporting the missing memory, then
turning memory_pools off will not help. However, if cachemgr is not
reporting memory reserved by memory_pools, and the memory_pool manager is
flawed and/or getting fragmented, it could explain the difference.
