Your analysis of the problems with the current use of swap_cnt seems accurate - though i don't know much about cache miss speeds and such. I guess the problem won't fully be solved until the swapping routine is based on pages instead of processes, and can scan pages on the inactive list only. -BenRI -- "I want to be in the light, as He is in the Light, I want to shine like the stars in the heavens." - DC Talk, "In the Light" Benjamin Redelings I <>< http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~bredelin/ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
