So far you been able to post 7 mails about vague ramblings about what you think the VM should do and what swapping is (not to mention unjustified personal attacks). If you really think there is a problem with the VM post benchmarks demonstrating the problem. If you don't think there is a problem, don't waste our time. If you want to continue this discussion, please do so off-list. Best regards, -- Paulo Marques - www.grupopie.com "In a world without walls and fences who needs windows and gates?"
