I've been trying to track down this problem, I though I'd ask here to see if any else notices it.<br><br>I've got a lot ram in my system, however if I say stop using my browser for a min, and got do some other work, I find linux pages the browser to disk. This is annoying as I have to wait for it to be paged back into main memory. I've checked that I'm not using more ram that I have, but linux will aggressively page out applications even if the system have lots of spare memory , I assume this is reallocated to the disk cache. <br><br>This seems to highlight the problem..<br><br>http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/04/04/30/1238250.shtml?tid=106&tid=185<br><br>currently my /proc/sys/vm/swappiness is set to 60.<br><br>This is a strange default for a desktop operating system, in a system<br>that's has ample ram.<br><br>I'm going to try<br><br> "echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness"<br><br>and see if I get better results..<br><br>Anyone else have this kind of
problem , I'd like to hear from you.<br><br><br><p>
