Well, if you get really tired of swapping issues, you might try using
different operating system :
My configuration of RedHat Linux 7.1 on Pentium 3 / 750Mhz / 256 MB RAM
Running applications ( at the same time ):
Forte for Java ver. 3
Opera web-browser ver. 5
MySQL
DB2 UDB ver. 7.2 Enterprice
Orion JSP engine ( some version )
- and I even sometimes play some MP3's while I'm working or run Lotus Notes
Client through wine.
And still not that much swapping.
Oh, and one more : It never crashes :)).

I bought my new laptop for two reasons:
1. Keyboard stopped working (main reason)
2. My recent use of IntelliJ causes too much disk swapping
InelliJ is a Java IDe and consumes a shitload of RAM. My Sony laptop never
did much disk swapping because it had 256MB ram. That is, until I started
using IntellJ. Whenever my laptop started doing disk swapping I would go to
task manager and sure enough IntelliJ was using 50 to 100 MB of memory. So,
I just said to my self that Java IDE's are all just memory pigs. After all
JBuilder and Sun's Forte/NetBeans are even MORE memory hogs than IntelliJ.
So when I got my XP Toshiba the only program that didn't work was Morpeus.
And I can't live without that. So I started using LimeWire, a really cool
Java Swing based Gnutella client. I really like LimeWire. It's much more
polished than morpeus. However, after using it my disk swapping came back.
Fuck! I have a brand new laptop with 512MB of RAM and it's freaking disk
swapping. This pisses me off. Looking into task manager, I find LimeWire is
almost as much of a memory hog as IntelliJ.
So in short, my 512MB of RAM has gained me nothing for (i think) two
reasons:
1. Forced to use limewire instead of morpheus.
2. XP is more of a memory hog than win2000 (i think i can turn shit off but
i'm not sure)
I am now pissed off that i spent all this time and money and still have
excessive disk swapping. Here some questions I have:
Does XP use more memory than win2000?
Are LimeWire and IntelliJ poorly written applications or is Swing a memory
hog?
Something to think about if you'll be developing swing apps.
