Most of the time you will not even notice it. Without swap, OOM (Out-Of-Memory) wil give you a rude awakening. Just adding more mem (instead of some swap) is a waste of resources, or making your services/products too expensive.
You are correct, but only in case the system is constantly use a lot of swap. SWAP usage is something to be minitored constantly with tools like cacti/nagios/opennms. If you use it too much and too often you have to buy more mem, or re-adjust XEN-parameters for your DOM-U HW -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
