For a modern server, swap should be an emergency usage only. 0-200 MB of usage and no pgswp in/out is normal. Given that, your SSD should see a thousand more times activity from the rest of the things that your system does. On laptops, swapspace is hibernation space, so you'll get a little more use, but it still shouldn't represent a significant write burden. On a desktop... I dunno. My desktop has a ton of RAM and uses a whopping 56MB of swap. Machines with less RAM seem to be using up to 340MB of swap, but no significant activity. I was going to say something about web browsers with a thousand tabs open, but pathological behavior is pathological behavior. -dsr- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
