That will swap out unneeded memory very fast, and free it for use by others. There was an article on lwn.net recently: http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/334649/76bbe60a81cfc7f5/ ( Compcache: in-memory compressed swapping ) If installed it on several servers, and my desktop. quite nice: Compresses 2GB to 512MB on my desktop, or 494MB to 186MB on a server. Even if staying with "normal" swap, increasing the swappiness can quickly free memory, but swap I/O might slow things down, depending on your setup. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0660 / 415 65 31 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4 -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
