Subject: 2.6.0-test4-mm1 - kswap hogs cpu OO takes ages to start!
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2003 16:38:44 -0500 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200308272138.h7RLciK29987@webmail2.vsnl.net> (raw)

Trying out 2.6.0-test4-mm1. Inside KDE, I start OpenOffice.org, Rational Rose and Konsole at a time. All of these take extremely long time to startup. (approx > 5 minutes). Kswapd hogs the CPU all the time.
X becomes unusable till all of them startup, although I can telnet and run top.
Same thing run under 2.4.18 starts up in 3 minutes, X stays usable and kswapd never take more than 2% CPU.


Here a snapshot of Top output when running 2.6.0-test4-mm1:
