Question: Could those who have found this prefetch helps them alot say how many disks they have? In particular, is their swap on the same disk spindle as their root and user files?
I have found that swap prefetch helped on all of the four machines machine I have, although the effect is more noticeable on machines with slower disks. They all have one hard disk, and root and swap were always on the same disk. I have no idea how to determine how many disk spindles they have, but since the drives are mainly low-end consumer models sold with low-end sub $500 PCs... -- Michael Chang Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
