>One thing that annoys me, it trying to use swap. I don't want to disable it because on occasion Firefox goes nuts and starting hogging memory really bad. I have swappiness set to like 5 or something which means it shouldn't use it but when using rsync, it creeps some in. When it does, that results in some slowness. I have a little script thing that clears all that but still, I may set it to 3 or maybe 2 for a bit. Me ponders the thought. |

I'm told that you can use cgroups for dealing with that kind of thing such that, for example, only Firefox is allowed to be swapped. I haven't had time to dig into it, but it seems like a useful tool.

Also, the compressed swap and zram swap devices with backing stores offer a fairly significant boost to the speed of swap so long as the data being swapped is compressible.
