The whole premise, for now, anyways, is that swap prefetch should provide... "something for (almost) nothing", if I'm interpreting this right.) That said, there are probably some cases (seti) where swap prefetch during the run of that batch program would help. On the flip side, ther

es that "I" want to be interactive all special-like. It feels like something that would have been said in the design of what the scheduler was in -ck and is currently in vanilla. To me, that fundamentally clashes with the design behind RSDL. That said, I could be wrong -- Con appears to have something that could be very promising up his sleeve that could come out sooner or later. Once he's written it, of course. In any case, RSDL seems very promising, for the most part. -- Michael Chang - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
