It's related to available RAM, but it isn't a simple function of machine size. It also depends on the software you're running, the likely availability of swap, and the tradeoffs you want to make between performance, short-term memory efficiency and long-term memory efficiency. Since this is basically a policy issue it seems like something that should be driven by the DISTRO. p. _______________________________________________ Oe mailing list [email protected] https://www.handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/oe
