Hey guys....need a little help...I can't remember whether there is
something I can do to help this little prob or if this is just kernel
related, but, as I write this I am having trouble with mp3's being
extremely choppy. I am running IRC, telnet, and I am copying a huge
directory to another. The mpegs are really choppy....my question is this.
How can I get my system to use my Swap partition more often. Right now I
have 80 meg worth of physical RAM and a 130 M swap with 58 M being cached.
77 M of physical is being used while only 96 K of swap is being used.
That's right, K.....what can I do about this. These processes shouldn't
be causing me this many probs. ThanX....please reply to me as well as the
list since I am not on the list anymore....ThanX BTW...I'm using stable
2.0.33 kernel...
