I haven't seen a report about this, if there were some I missed them.
I managed to get pre5 and pre6-3 compiled and installed and at least
pre6-3 seems to be reasonable stable. But the memory handling sucks.
These are the numbers from my machine:
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 523837440 520978432 2859008 0 117579776 313892864
Swap: 402096128 45477888 356618240
MemTotal: 511560 kB
MemFree: 2792 kB
MemShared: 0 kB
Buffers: 114824 kB
Cached: 306536 kB
HighTotal: 0 kB
HighFree: 0 kB
LowTotal: 511560 kB
LowFree: 2792 kB
SwapTotal: 392672 kB
SwapFree: 348260 kB
I've never had this machine swapping before (last version before these
was 2.3.47). I don't know what changed but it wasn't a good change.
The machine has enough memory to do its job and it's not necesary to
keep everything in the cache.
Again, this is a unmodified 2.3.99-pre6 on a 2xPIII machine.
