please tell me what is the pools below or where could i search for docs
about it. 
especially:

a) why "rndsample" needs over half a megabyte memory?!
b) mclpl what is it and why is it so large
c) what is sigapl, procpl 

it no problem on 384MB machine but how would it be on 16MB? all pools
below are 5MB and does not count buffer cache
