I left 2.5.63 running over night (doing nothing but run KDE), and in the morning it was swapping heavily. About 200MB was swapped out and this did not reduce with usage. According to top, 10% of memory was being used by a Konsole with nothing in it (could be a memory leak in Konsole). After half an hour I gave up - it was too unusable. Maybe -mm1 just accentuates a problem that is already there in 2.5.63. Ciao, Duncan. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
