is this good or bad? hda2 is my swap partition:
# swap partition while mounted with one millllion processes
/dev/hda2:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.99 seconds = 129.29 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 21.93 seconds = 2.92 MB/sec
# swap partition unmounted with really only the bare essentials (22
# processes) running
/dev/hda2:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.97 seconds = 131.96 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 21.61 seconds = 2.96 MB/sec
