I care for my desktop/notebook, for one drawbak: system gets really slow if it is swapping to much.

This is not neccessarily a swap issue. If commiting data to disc gets slowing down/partially blocking your system, you can set vm.dirty_ratio = 10 vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5 in your sysctl.conf. This will reduce the time pdflush needs to commit cache dirty data to disc, because it's done more frequently, thus resulting in shorter commit time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
