FC2 has completely surprised me with how slow it is. I have a 2.7 GHz
Celeron
with 256MB RAM, and it takes 3 seconds to start a new xterm. The System
Monitor
shows 1-3% CPU occupancy, 154MB used RAM, and 96.9MB of swap. I'm a
little bit
surprised that it's using any swap with only 60% of memory full.
The kernel tries to swap unused pages out to give more space to the
disk cache (all the unused memory). You can adjust the swapping
behaviour by writing a value to /proc/sys/vm/swappiness (see
http://kerneltrap.org/node/1044).

So did Con's patch ever made it into the kernel?  I see that my swappiness
is at 60, the default that Con's patch replaces.  2.6.11-1.35_FC3
So is mine, and attempts to edit that file fail.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
