Dear gurus !
This might be quite off-topic , but still of interest for many of us :

I'm trying to monitor the paging/swapping activity on my machine ( Sun = Solaris 2.8 ) .
I'm running sar -w -g 5 10 .

I see that the value of pswch/s is always around 40 . Is it good or bad ? What does it mean and what can i do about it ?

Thanks a lot in advance .
