My system runs since yesterday noon without a reboot. My Firefox session is about 4 hours old. All together, it eats 320 megabytes currently. Yesterday evening I was also running Thunderbird for hours, as well running Compiz Fusion 0.5.1, watching a video with mplayer and using GIMP the same time, flipping across workspaces using the Expo plugin. Pagefile usage was 0% (Yes, I sometimes I paranoidly watch that indicator, because of the ZFS ARC and its default minimum memory claim, which is considerably). The only time I get it to trash to the swapfile is when running SecondLife. Just giving an example. If Xorg and Firefox make your system trash, then I suppose there's a huge problem somewhere else. (Using snv_65 here.) -mg This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
