That would explain higher memory usage of firefox. It does not explain the kernel failing to make proper use of the available memory. The cause of *that* must lie somewhere in kernel space. Either this is a generic problem with the current kernel and it's just that very few people are hitting it, or it's a problem specific to some particular uses of the kernel. Some ideas that come to mind are LVM snapshots, LUKS encryption, and virtual machines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1152736 Title: system swapping itself to death in raring for no good reason To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1152736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
