I tested by loading 117 good sized images all at once. This kicks it ~ 165MB into the swap (~ 293 MB mem total). The standard 2.2.0-pre1 kernel streamed out to swap at an average of >1MB/sec and finished in 184 seconds. WIth the patched kernel I stopped at 280 sec. At that time it had about 65 mb swapped out or < 250K/sec. I then rebooted, brought up X and an xterm and went to compile the 2.1.131-ac11 patch (still running under the patched 2.2.0-pre1) and noted that during the compile I had 17MB in the swap with nothing else going on. Bringing up netscape put it up to 25MB. Suggestions? Requests? Let me know if you want me to try anything else. Thanks, Steve -- This is a majordomo managed list.
