Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you saying that by not enabling swap, you're
are ending up with a faster machine ? I believe that you could use Linux
without swap pretty comfortably, but when it starts thrashing - it'll trash
like hell. *Everything* will get slow. I once forgot to switch on swap on a
hand made installation, but wafter about 2 hours, when my system got loaded,
the thing slowed down tremendously. What got me interested is the fact that
since there wasn no swap, there shouldn't be much disk activity. But the HDD
light was burning like hell. Unfortunately, I couldn't really check it up
because I couldn't log on (too slow). So I guess 'thrashing' wouldn't be the
right term to use...
Anyways, if I'm correct, your swap wouldn't be used unless you needed it, so
what's the bit speed-saver by not enabling swap ?
