There may be other solutions. Tweaking the VM setting has been suggested, but there are a lot of variables and it is going to be application dependent. Allocation memory to file buffers, inode caching, directory caching, big-page merging, and more are examples of situations where the 'swapiness' and swap speed might be of secondary interest. Putting the whole system on a PCIe/NVMe SSD will speed things up, yes, but it may be hiding what could be achieved by application-specific tuning. -- Rulers The best rulers are scarcely known by their subjects; The next best are loved and praised; The next are feared; The next despised: They have no faith in their people, And their people become unfaithful to them. When the best rulers achieve their purpose Their subjects claim the achievement as their own. -- Lao Tse, "Tao Te Ching" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
