| 1 | Hi, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | with your small amount of memory tmpfs hurts you more than helps you. The |
| 4 | small compilations might to be sped up. But what about the big ones? |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Slow downs, because swap is used. Big slow downs, because swap is horribly |
| 7 | slow. Slow downs in daily usage because space that could be used for |
| 8 | cache&buffers is wasted for tmpfs. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | In your case: get 2gb (minimum!) first before playing around with tmpfs. |
