Excuse my ignorance but these expressions "occasionally" and "not wise" together are just opaque to me.
If my desktop was crawling because of the load, I might understand the goal of manually managing services but it's not the case at all. Services not used are simply swapped if the system needs physical memory. Here it's obviously not the case... Can you be more precise about your thoughts ? Personally I consider my time invaluable, starting/stopping services on demand is not a good use of my time. Hardware does not resent fatigue and is much more powerful these days so why not ask it to save us time and pain ? BTW our internal git repositories (hosted on an XServer) respond pretty fast on our gigabit LAN :))) but not as fast a starting a REPL :))) Luc On Fri, 2009-03-06 at 14:50 -0800, Phil Hagelberg wrote: > Luc Prefontaine <lprefonta...@softaddicts.ca> writes: > > > I work with Ubuntu and all my frequently used tools are copied to RAM > > (/tmpfs) at > > boot time.
