On older machines I used to just turn off swap altogether. Esp if I wasn't running out of memory but swap was engaging anyway. swappiness = 0 didn't help, nothing did, I just kept seeing kswapd working it's butt off doing nothing but hitting the swap partition. So glad to be off those old kernels. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
