Everything that's in the cache before running slrn on a big group seems
to stay there the whole time, making my active slrn-process use swap.
I applied the patch to 2.4.5-ac15, and this was the result:
procs memory swap io system cpu

The slrn-test I use is to open a very big group (some 150000 headers)
from local spool. This first reads a lot of headers from disk, building
an impressive 100 Mb size of malloc()ed space in memory, then sorts
these headers.
Good luck,
Jurriaan
