Subject: [gentoo-user] kernels & swap usage
Date: Tue, 07 Aug 2012 05:04:10
Message-Id: 20120807050229.GE2865@ca.inter.net
1 Just an observation : when I updated Libre Office & Firefox this week,
2 neither compile used swap (I have 4 GB RAM);
3 OTOH when I did them the previous time, both did use swap;
4 the total time & the HDD usage remained almost the same.
5 In between, I updated the Kernel 3.0.0 -> 3.4.0 ,
6 but made no other changes in config files etc.

8 Does anyone have thoughts re the effect of kernel versions on swapping ?
