The alternative is to disable swap entirely. It sounds as though you have enough ram, so why not remove it from /etc/fstab, or swapoff -a and see what happens. I run with swap disabled as a matter of course, and use that swappiness as a failover kind of thing if I forget to turn it off. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
