Re: gns3

Hi.
You might be a bit low on RAM. Check if you up to the limit of your
physical memory when you run your topology.. Swapping may slow you down
as well.

On XPPro 32bit laptop with 4G of RAM and ghostios enabled for that GNS
topology I can run a dozen of routers with mix of 128M/256M virtual RAM.

The best way to figure out idlepc value is to run a single instance of
the platform with empty config and take an idlepc calculation snapshot
from GNS GUI. Then put it in NET file for that platform, then iterate to
other platform if you use multiple.
