I have pretty low-end hardware (Pentium 1/ 100MHz, 16Mb RAM, 17Mb swap) and it really seems to bog down with anything heavy in memory. Netscape seems to really drag, and any Java applets I encounter positively crawl -- you can see the individual widgets being drawn. My previous kernel was 240-ac4, and it was fine. Oh, one other thing...cat /proc/filesystems shows: nodev sockfs nodev swapfs nodev shm nodev pipefs nodev proc ext2 nodev devpts I thought swapfs _replaces_ shm? I mention this because my startup scripts mount'ed shm the way it always does. I figured it'd fail because shm wouldnt be there. I've since disabled that. So, mount swapfs to /dev/shm, and leave the shm filesystem unmounted? Go back to the way it was before (mounting to /var/shm) ?? W/ swapfs (only) mounted, MITSHM apps like MpegTV, Virtual Gameboy, Xanim, etc. seem to work okay. -- Mark Orr markorr@intersurf.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
