I have a 486dx2/66 with 32 Megs of ram, and a 32 meg swap partition. When I was using 2.0 (CD) i rarely ever went into swap. I could make a port, and run netscape under X and still not hit swap. Now with 2.0.5, it seems very eager to start swaping. In fact, with the above, it goes into 45% or more swap. This sucks to say the least. My machine is trashing big time when this happens. Is anyone familiar with this? Is there a fix? I know swaping was changed in 2.0.5, but I heard it was for the better, not the worse..... Any suggestions, comments, are most welcome. Andrew P.s. If anyone could actually tell me how to figure out how much memory a process is really using i'd like to know that too.
