These are about actually swapping-out processes. It's mainly about reducing memory use on multiuser systems where there many terminal idle at at any time. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
