Just under that line, it tells me that I have 49148k > total swap - and 0k in use! [SNIP] Swap will not increase the speed of your client. If at all it will actually decrease it! Swap is only to be used if your client is very low on memory... less than 32MB (some will say 64MB). > What is wrong? Why can't it just use the swap-space I've given to it? Swap is used only if the client memory is filled up and that to only for the duration. HTH -- Sudev Barar
