2.4.7: good VM
2.4.8: not good
2.4.9: not good!!!++
2.4.10-pre4: quite ok VM, but put little more on the swap than 2.4.7
2.4.10-pre8: not good
2.4.10-pre9: not good ... Linux didnt had used any swap at all, then i
             unrared two very large files at the same time. And now 104
             Mbyte swap is used! :-( 2.4.7 didnt do like this.
             Best is to use the swap as little as possible.

My cfg:

Real mem: 512684K (512 Mbyte)
Swap : 257032K
compiled with: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk)

!! remove "nothanksok." from my email if you want to reply to me !!
