I am a big fan of Suse Linux and also a huge python fan, unfortunately my one gig of memory goes quickly when in C mode :) and I can't get the hard drive to work enough (most of the time I don't see anything churning away because I don't do a lot of file work I guess its my main weekness at the moment. The install for most people will be the most the file system gets used (and booting applications) thats how fast my dualy 140 is. It takes a C app to bring it to its knees (no inline threads please). Balancing the machine in realtime might be a cool hack... Is there *any* way to make a process run in compressed memory aka not the hard drive?< I know futile manuever but python just takes up so much memory. I guess there is no such compression routine available except for buying a Xenon (or Crusue (sha I would really pay for something that made python run an order of magnitude faster anybody wanna sell me their crusoe just a guess here :& _________________________________________________________________

Then either buy more memory or reduce the memory of your program.

Run "vmstat 1" and see what happens.

That can be done easily with C. Use ulimit to restrict memory access.

No. That only works with some high end IBM hardware.

the Xenon or Crusoe don't do this either.

Generally, interpreted languages like Python are not recommended if you really need speed. Or find the inner loop of your program and re-code it in C. You need some quality software engineering if you really want your program to scream. -- Bob
