According to top, gkrellm and cat /proc/meminfo there is no swap in
use. I have 2Gbs of ram and have swappiness set to 20 or 30. I rarely
use swap unless I am compiling something huge, OOo comes to mind, or
have a LOT of images open with GIMP.
I did check to make sure tho. My swappiness did get magically changed
once before. I wish it was something that easy tho.
Still open to ideas. I started a emerge -e world.
