And there is another issue, of which I have no hard proof: swap suffers of fragmentation and consequently more disk head movement in Leap compared to 13.1
That could be it. :-\
I installed an SSD disk and the issue improved dramatically. After two years or so I bought another computer, but it is still waiting for assembly in the table behind me. So the SSD bought me some years of time.
One other thing, the heavy disk activity is on an occasional basis. It can go hours without it happening, with the computer running find the rest of the time. For example, right now it's running 13.5 GB of memory and 4.4 swap. Yet, the computer is properly responsive. I just fired up a couple more Firefox windows and I don't notice any difference in response. So, I'm thinking it's something other than swap, that occurs at long time intervals.
One of the disk indexing thingies? Or some filesystem cleanup activity? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
