I'm curious what people have done about memory optimization in their myth boxes. I'm running a combination FE/BE on an EPIA M10000 with 512MB of RAM, so keeping things clean is rather critical to keeping it all usable. That said, I am running Azureus on this machine as well which can be a huge memory hog, not to mention it causes a huge amount of disk caching to occur. Combine that was something like commercial flagging and show recording and I have a huge amount (IMO) of swap space being used.
At the moment I have 44MB of free memory, 7MB of buffer, 322MB cached, and 80MB swapped. The swapped space easily goes up to 180MB at times. I know there has been a lot of discussion on kernel lists about vm.swappiness, I currently have mine set to 40, but I could turn it down. I guess this post doesn't entirely have a question, I just wanted to open a discussion of what behavior people are seeing on their systems, does it seem like mythfrontend is getting swapped to disk after being inactive for a while? And if so, is it causing a noticeable delay when someone tries to use it again?
