Re: [arch-general] Bring back the old X11 values

2013-07-25 Thread Chris Moline
Hi, I have 7 GiB of ram but I'm only using 300 MiB, so I thought I would put stuff into it to speed up my system. I installed anything-sync-daemon but I have no idea what to sync. Is there a tool that can tell which dirs are being used the most? I'd rather not guess and benchmark, I don't have the
