Appendix 1. Resource consumption optimization

When scanning objects, the Kaspersky application uses CPU resources, disk subsystem input/output, and RAM.

To view the resource consumption by the application, execute the following command:

top -bn1|grep kfl

The command must be executed when the system is loaded.

The command output shows the amount of used memory and processor time:

651 root 20 0 3014172 2.302g 154360 S 120.0 30.0 0:32.80 kfl

Column 6 displays the amount of resident memory – 2.302g.

Column 9 displays the percentage of the processor cores usage – 120.0, where each core is represented by 100 percent. Thus, 120% means that one core is fully used, and the other is used at 20%.

If the Kaspersky application scanning objects critically slows down the system, the application must be configured to optimize system resource usage.
