Memory strange behaviour

[Willy Sutrisno <sutrisno@singnet.com.sg>]

hi,

I installed potato last week. For the past 1 week, I observed that potato very
seldom use my swap. Previously when I was using RedHat, my comp use alot of
swap. Sometime even reach 100%, left my ram 80% utilize.

Eventhough there is a different in the size of the swap
potato -  Memory: 96MB Swap: 190MB
redhat -  Memory: 96MB Swap: 100MB

Can someone enlighten me, why this thing happen? I can see that when I was using
redhat, the swap is keep running. I can observe this from gkrellm. Now, when I
use potato, it is very seldom use swap. The most only 10%.

thank you

curious tux
