X-Mailer: VSNL, Web based email X-Sender-Ip: 203.197.141.34 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 2408 Lines: 37 Trying out 2.6.0-test4-mm1. Inside KDE, I start OpenOffice.org, Rational Rose and Konsole at a time. All of these take extremely long time to startup. (approx > 5 minutes). Kswapd hogs the CPU all the time. X becomes unusable till all of them startup, although I can telnet and run top. Same thing run under 2.4.18 starts up in 3 minutes, X stays usable and kswapd never take more than 2% CPU.
