Hello,
since i upgraded to kernel 2.4.8/2.4.9, i noticed everything became noticably slower, and the number of swapins/swapouts increased significantly. When i run 'vmstat 1' i see there is a lot of swap activity constantly when i am reading my mail in kmail. After a fresh bootup in the evening, i can get everything I normally need swapped out by running updatedb or ht://dig. When i do that, my music stops playing for several seconds, and it takes about 3 seconds before my applications repaint when i switch back to X after an updatedb run. the last time that happent (and the last time i had problems with VM at all) was in 2.4.0-testXX so i think something is wrong ... is it possible new used_once does not work for me (and drop_behind used to work fine) ?
My system configuration : athlon 750, 384 meg ram, 128 meg swap, XFree4.1 and kde2.2.
