Sounds pretty normal to me. 67108864 bytes is 64MB; a dozen of them is 768MB. As long as the amount of swap space is not larger than the amount of physical RAM installed in your computer, you should be fine. Once your swap exceeds physical RAM, things start getting slow. The sleepimage is always present and always the exact size of your physical RAM. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
