If your system needs swap, it will swap the same regardless if you have 512MiB or 512 GiB swap space available. Nor will it run faster if you remove all swap - rather the contrary.
The system runs faster if it doesn't _need_ swap, not if it doesn't have swap space.
Well said. If your system doesn't have (enough) swapspace, OOM will start shooting off processes, and your system will be rather slugish, i presume. otoh, how can you be absolutely sure that your system won't _need_ any swap? (besides starting up the system and watch it closely?) There are a number of cases on would like to avoid swapping at all costs. For instance when running from self-made dvd, or from SDD, where swapping would means additional whereout of the sdd. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
