I'm running 15.1 & KDE. One thing I've noticed is swap use increases through time, even though I'm not even using all the real memory. Eventually, it gets to the point where my system bogs down and can become unusable. At the moment, I'm running 13.6 GiB of 15.6 memory and 4.1 of 24 swap. Why should swap be used at all, when there's still a significant amount of free memory?
It was used at some point, but although there is now free memory, the applications have not had reason to access the swapped out memory, so it remains in use.
That makes sense. It would help in this sort of explanation if you used the term 'pages' instead of 'memory'. It would also help if you remembered that only data and not code pages were ever swapped out. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
