I have no idea what is the algorithm of swapping but it seems that the granularity of swapping pieces is the key or the importance of swapping memory blocks of certain task. Ooo I forgot to say that the both machines have the same hardware, IBM 300PL, 256 RAM and no other tasks running. I had to run these tests to choose the fastest platform for building our software indexes, which requires a lot of math and memory operations. > > Also, which version of FreeBSD? > > -- > -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] > 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," > start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.' > Tax deductible donations for FreeBSD: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/ > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
