YMMV: I have 458 MB of RAM, 1024 Mb of swap and my machine is a lot slower
under KDE than under W2K. But with IceWM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (24/24h) runs
only marginally slower than under W2K. Granted, I cannot compare the
differences in coding the Unix and Windows versions of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Still,
swap is never used a lot. Perhaps with OpenOffice.org, but I didn`t have
time to run the new version from the CD`s.

My fs is ext3. And it made a lot of difference when I disabled swsusp: I
could feel it slowing me down at nice 0, less so when I reniced it to 19.
Now it`s noapic apic-ht period for me. Hibernation undesirable :-)
