I discovered my vm.swappiness=60, dropped it to 10 as recommended for desktop LINUX. Now no si/so on vmstat, but a peak in cs and a moderate delay, around 20 seconds, when adding price quotes. Again, it looks like it is using too big a RAM space to manage this data, or some similar process

I started vmstat -tw 11 in a wide xterm and I do see a lot of swap out for some but not all delays. The not-first delays seem to be smaller now. The first delay did 3K+ so, later ones did 2K+, 300+ or almost no so. Almost no so may indicate the container is not dealing well with the volume and

Since I was collecting prices daily, I guess my price database is pretty large, and my family finances are in there for about 5 years. I have xml database, and compressed, but I checked my save intervals, even increased them, but no help. My PC has 8 GB ram, and a very large solid state swap

You don't necessarily have to update manually. The original Yahoo source has been ruined, but you can (and I do) use "yahoo_json" as a source. It's worked fine for me. As for your actual question, I'm sorry but I've no idea. I'm running on Mac OSX. People might have some inquiries about the

Now that I am manually updating my stocks monthly, thanks, Yahoo, I find that as I pull up the price history to clone a new month end entry for the symbol, I get a _*long (30 second) gray out delay*_ (on Linux, and not the newest PC) at some point in the cycle, like a premature auto save or
