You could try tuning swappiness to see if that improves it...

Self Introduction: Anthony McInerney

2018-12-14 Thread Anthony F McInerney
Hi All, as per the packaging guidelines i'm just touching base to say hello.
I'm hoping to get cockpit-composer into fedora, and willing to triage
bugs etc as required.
Need a sponsor.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1659556
I have previously packaged for debian, and have been using fedora for
quite some time now. (home and work)
the copr is managed directly by the cockpit/welder-web team.
thanks.
