The machine seems to feel slightly sluggish; it seems to swap a fair bit more than it did under 2.6.11, but at the same time it's not actually using more swap that it used to. The large numbers are slowly growing larger too. The biggest spamd was only 156% of memory yesterday. Normally it's only my xserver (and occasionally konqueror) that manages to grab more than 10% of memory...

Any ideas on what's happening? Or is everything actually normal and I've just made an incorrect assumption somewhere? (in which case I'd like to know what definition of 'resident' I'm supposed to be using :P) Thanks, -MD -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Deegan Hugaholic http://wibble.darktech.org/gallery/ ------------------------- Nyy Tybel Gb Gur Ulcabgbnq! ------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
