I use the kernel patches of Con Kolivas, http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ He has done a lot on swap usage, and he recommends about 256MB and says that it is unrelated to the amount of ram you have. He has a special function called "swap prefetch" that make swapping easier. Of course at the moment I can't find the post where he made the 256MB comment. HugoIt is right on that page ;) Regards, Andrei It probably *is* huge, but I have sufficient disk space to give ample amounts to swap. However, I will try and understand why he thinks 256MB is enough. Thanks for the info. A |
