The only real thing you can do is try making swap the second partition from Zero Cylinder or use prelinking.
Only other thing that comes to mind is buy a small SCSI 320 hardisk and use that for swap and /usr.
Also run hdparm /dev/hda bet your still running in 16 bit mode and maybe DMA isnt enabled..

Sluggers, I have 1 gig ram and 4 gig Swap on a Sata drive... performance when using memory-hogs like Sweep audio editor is great while it's using ram, but slows to a crawl once it starts using swap... not just Sweep but any app. Is this normal, or can I tune this in some way ? (I've spent my hardware budget for the next 3 years so no more ram). thanks Rod ----------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by a thunderbird, penguin, gnu and a camel
