Typical sizes of the program buffer are between 240.000 and 400.000 KB,
depending on the server's work memory, with development systems
requiring larger buffers. The program buffer can be too small, even if
the system displays free space there. If the hit rate is too low or the
swap is too high, you can change the share of the buffer for small and
large programs in addition to changing the size of the buffer.
