you know - I don't give a rat's ass about 'pig' or not, because: |
| 46 |
I have enough ram. Ram is cheap. 16gb of DDR 1600 ECC costs what? 160€? |
| 47 |
Cheap. |
| 48 |
zfs eats so much, the amount KDE is using is negligible. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
At the moment I run one firefox instance with 29 flash heavy windows |
| 51 |
3 instances of konqueror with douzends of tabs. |
| 52 |
thunderbird. |
| 53 |
two hungry java apps. |
| 54 |
assorted crap. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
11GB used. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
But the big 'offender' seems to be: zfs. |
