Interesting. Also having 16GB RAM I've limited /tmp to 10GB. I wonder |
| 10 |
whether 13GB would offer any advantage. Unlikely, as the only time it |
| 11 |
gets used in earnest is when compiling Firefox, OO and the like. Maybe I |
| 12 |
should just remove the restriction and let the kernel optimise its own |
| 13 |
use of swap and tmpfs. |

This box spends well over 90% of its cycles on BOINC projects, which |
| 16 |
crunch large numbers of numbers but don't take up a lot of space (by |
| 17 |
modern standards). |
