I have two SUSE 9.1 Pro boxes. One is a rocket the other is a snail. I checked the swap priority and the rocket is -1 the snail is 42. Anyone know what ranges can be used?
Swap priorities are unlikely to account for a large disparity in system performance.
Ah hah!
I got around minute-long freezes by commenting out all swap. (1 gig of ram and 2 of swap)
Running Suse:System:More Programs:System Monitor the swap bar would kick, cpu usage shoot to 100% and everything would stop for a while.
Check out KSysGuard to get more details about system activity and performance factors, if necessary.
See how it goes re-enabled with pri=-1 in /etc/fstab
See "man 2 swapon" for an explanation of swap priorities.
