Pentium III 450 with 128MB ram, kernel 2.4.20, 128MB swap. I generally run Windowmaker and have open office, sylpheed, and gmt (terminal prog) running continuously. I'm in and out of nedit. While I'm using these programs and switching between them everything works OK with no or very little swapping. Leave the computer alone for a half hour and try to resume working and a bunch of swapping occours. Note the programs do not take an "an absolute absurd time to come outta swap" just enough to be annoying. I was hoping there was a method of some how tuning swapping/caching parameters to not do any swapping/caching while the machine was left idle. Thanks, R.
