BUT using swap this way would slow things up if you have less swap than memory. linux kernels 2.4 under 2.4.10 had a problem that caused very low performance if you had less swap than 2xRAM (I don't know if it was because of problem I described above) However having enough memory will speed up things much more :) However this discussion is not related to squid, so let's say the old good: on a system with squid, you should have enough memory not to swap at all. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
