Oh! I'd forgotten about that. But I didn't know that was new with 2.6. I

One system was swapping quite frequently when it was equipped with 1GB
of memory. I use it to run Azureus as well as a variety of first-person

previous conf

I've recently doubled the memory in two of my systems. Each one
previously had a swap partition configured that was, in accordance with
a "rule of thumb" whose origins I've forgotten, exactly two times the
size of the physical memory in the system.
