In my opinion 2.4.x is NOT ready for primetime. The VM has been getting worse since 2.4.0, I believe. Definitely since and including 2.4.3. I cannot even edit a few images in gimp where the entire working set used to fit entirely in memory. The system now locks in some loop (SAK still works).
FILE CACHING IS BROKEN. I don't care who says what, by the time swap is half filled, it is time to start throwing away simple caches. Not wait until there is no more memory free and then lock in an infinite loop.
My system has 128 Meg of Swap and RAM.
