Re: 2.4.3 + X 4.0.2 + star office = dead box

Same problem for me. I only have 8Mb memory and 30Mb swap. vmstat
shows the swapping (very!) slowly increasing, with heavy disk
activity.

X applications run relatively fast, so it seems to come from
StarOffice.

I wonder why the entire swapping space is not exploited
faster. Probably, this is exactly the problem with expcessive paging -
but I'm certainly not a specialist.
