Hello all, I'm running Sid (kernel 2.6.30) on a Core i7 with 4G of memory. Everything runs smoothly until some programs hit the VM (like using eclipse, amarok, iceweasel and azureus at the same time). Even if one of the memory hoggers is killed, or all of them, if the VM was hit and some swap was made, the system performance starts do degrade, being slower and slower, and with lots of I/O, even if the program was not in the swap or is closed and opened again. I think that maybe this is related to the "swapiness" of the system, but also don't know how to configure that, and disabling the swap doesn't seems a very bright idea to me. I heard that kernel 2.6.31 has a much better performance regarding memory control. Any thoughts?
Thank you. Ivan
