Yes! Since two hours after I read your posting, never heard before of pf- |
| 8 |
sources or BFS before. |

And they run great! My system was somewhat unresponsive, especially when |
| 10 |
things like emerges were going on, video playback was stuttering, sometimes |
| 11 |
Amarok did this, too. Now, it's no problem any more. Well, activating Strigi |
| 12 |
desktop indexing and Nepomuk still slows things down, though. |

It rocks! |

But then, I have been running ck-sources before. And they also have the BFS |
| 19 |
patch. And it has been set in my .config. So, I should already have seen the |
| 20 |
benefits all the time. |

Maybe this is all wishful thinking only? The system already performs much, |
| 23 |
much better since I added another 2G of RAM one week ago. Now I have 8G, and |
| 24 |
do not notice that much swapping any more. Although... right now, swap is |
| 25 |
at 600M, and the system is swapping right now. Weird. I'm running rdiff- |
| 26 |
backup, this seems to increase swap size. Maybe too much of the stuff it |
| 27 |
precesses is being cached? Swap is at 800M now. |
