Bite bullet, add more physical memory. For a time-critical process.... that seems like it is business critical, then do the right business decision. Purchase more memory to get the job done.

Hi,
I run a time-critical application on a vServer which seems to have very little memory (even 512mb are guaranteed). Every page that hasn't been accessed the last few minutes is immediatly swapped out, and if a request comes in the system is busy many seconds loading the working-set of the application into memory again.
Is there any way to prevent applications from beeing swapped out? I tried to call mlock(), but after this call dynamically loading shared libraries failed :/
Thanks, Clemens
