Tweedie" List-ID: In an effort to streamline testing, I am now running just: make depend; make clean; make bzlilo and leaving out the modules part. I am also compiling only a minimal kernel with no options at all selected in menuconfig. I have added an idle mysql server to the mix, which still includes netscape and a number of the usual daemons (sendmail, lpd, inetd, etc.) along with vmstat 1, top, and ping remote_host. Please remember Linus' caution about the "swaps" number. Here are the latest results: In 16MB: pre6+zlatko_patch 5:29 192527 149728 3554 pre6 5:27 192002 149694 4257 pre5 5:28 188566 148674 5646 arcavm13 5:32 188560 148234 1594 Really putting on the squeeze, I tried out mem=12M which forced about 24MB into the swap area.

Zlatko, let me know if you have any specific tests you want me to run on your patch. -Steve -- This is a majordomo managed list.
