Hi Daemons, recently I had to add some more RAM on a workstation. Was 512MB before and is 2GB now, the reason was to give some graphic apps more space. But to my surprise the workstation ran faster--but before adding RAM it did NOT make use of the swap-partition and after the big RAM chip of course not too (checked it with #top). This was a Slackware installation. Had anyone experienced such effect on BSD as well? Cheers herbs () ASCII Ribbon Campaign - against html/rtf/vCard in mail /\ - against M$ attachments
