In the common case, where there is available swap space, it is added overhead, albeit a tiny amount of overhea= d.=20 Only in the rare case, where there is no swap space available will it be of= any benefit. But, in that case, the gain is minimal. The hinting mechanism in= the blist code will quickly conclude that there is no available space, and retu= rn failure. In summary, the tiny amount of overhead in the common case is goi= ng to outweigh the gain in the rare case. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
