Just an observation : when I updated Libre Office & Firefox this week, neither compile used swap (I have 4 GB RAM); OTOH when I did them the previous time, both did use swap; the total time & the HDD usage remained almost the same. In between, I updated the Kernel 3.0.0 -> 3.4.0 , but made no other changes in config files etc.
Does anyone have thoughts re the effect of kernel versions on swapping ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
