After killing firefox (I restarted Thunderbird half an hour ago) I still have 2.3 GB in swap. After killing Th it is the same figure (using alpine to post this).
Telcontar:~ # free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7.8G 950M 5.6G 28M 1.3G 6.6G Swap: 23G 2.2G 21G Telcontar:~ #
But, I get 5.6G free, and 1.3 in buff/cache temporarily. With no swap, free would be 2.2 less.
Having swap increases free memory, not the other way round. It makes the system actually faster. That's a common misconception, that having swap makes the system slower. No. What makes it slower is needing to use swap because there is not enough ram.
just turn swap off and see. you think you know but you refuse to try. It is simple: swapoff that only turns swap off until you reboot or turn it back on. it changes no config files. I have been running my main workstation for years w/o swap. and it is simple to turn on additional temporary swap to a temporary file on your hard drive, also w/o changing any config files. and very easy to recover the temp swap file. issue "swapoff" and let your system run for a while to test. if you don't like the way it performs, issue "swapon" to use it again. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
