I just dropped in another 128mb dimm and now it uses absolutely no swap and averages 50-70 of free ram doing exactly what it was doing before, and quite often more than it was doing before. Does shared memory function differently when a program gets pushed into swap, or what?.... merely looking for a simple explanation, maybe I have been hitting ye 'ol crackpipe too often lately.......
