And yes, your system bogs down as more swap is used, because modern swap can not cope when set on rotating rust. You need to move it to an SSD disk.
No. If it is happening then it is symptomatic of something wrong. A faster swap with SSD wont fix it. It just speeds up the IO rate of the thrashing. Just like a faster CPU will speed up the rate at which the memory gets scanned for scheduling the IO. So what? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrashing_(computer_science) In computer science, thrashing occurs when a computer's virtual memory resources are overused, leading to a constant state of paging and page faults, inhibiting most application-level processing. -- 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
