    ****
    MEMORY
    Real.MB 7936
    % Comp 64.7
    % Noncomp 30.4
    % Client 30.4
    *****

    Is is normal?

    Either way you should be checkng for paging.
    AIX will always try to keep as much memory as possible in use, either with working pages or it will keep anything else it has read into memory as cache instead of having to go out to the disks, which takes ages, in case it is needed again.
