I care for my desktop/notebook, for one drawbak: system gets really slow if it is swapping to much. Nowadays I use only half of RAM siz for SWAP on desktop type systems and a little bit more than RAM size on laptop for suspend.
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.
The culprit for me is to avoid swapping at all - it is been a implicit assumption. I have a little bit of swap to get some really rarely needed stuff out of RAM in case of memory congestion. It is my personal way, as mentioned earlier in this thread is a lot about workload. Like in case of a laptop (or suspend/resume at all) you will need a bit more swap. -- Harald Müller-Ney, Project Manager Maintenance Coordination SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nürnberg Phone: +49 (0) 911 74053130 Mobile: +49 (0) 179 2287009 Fax: +49 (0) 911 74053575 eMail: hmuelle@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
