How about the numbers from "vmstat -s" regarding page and swap activity. On my one system with enough memory I haven't had a swap in 51 days. My other system, well... I get 4-5 swap/day, which sin't too bad. -- bill davidsen (wedu@crd.GE.COM) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
