Well, As an example, I have one system that is used simple as a workstation, other than it is running the RC5 client, it just sits with KDM up. It gets logged into by various users. Some email is read and the web is used on it, Kongy and Opera TP3 are the apps. It was running for about 2 weeks with out a reboot at the time. It was acting rather sluggish so I ran free. I had 160M of a 200M swap file in use and only 4M out of 128 available. Shutting down opera and kmail clear alot but there was still 20M of swap in use. A friend has a system that is a guinea pig and had been sitting for a few weeks without the afore mentioned type use. It also has the appearance of swap growth and memory usage. It does have the pre-emptive patch as well. So I was fishing for data on stock 2.4.17 usage. Can I provide anymore info that may help? stayler _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
