Once stuff gets swapped out, it may not get swapped in. (It will remain swapped out until it is accessed. Swapping has a cost; leaving it there does not.) Even if it is, it will remain backed by swap until it is written to. (Until it is written to, the existing swap space may save a disk write if the page needs to be swapped in the future. Invalidating the page costs a little; leaving it there does not.) Basically use of swap and non-use of RAM are *not* problems. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
