ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 tells my system to use RAM like it’s on sale, only resorting to the swapfile as a last resort
PW
I have 256 Ram and now my swap file reads 0 constantly after making this change 2 weeks ago.I just started System Monitor and have 117 of the 256 available. with 5 open windows and 2 Java applets running.
My settings:
[386Enh]
ebios=*ebios
woafont=dosapp.fon
device=*dynapage
device=*vcd
device=*vpd
device=*int13
keyboard=*vkd
display=*vdd,*vflatd
mouse=*vmouse
LocalLoadHigh=1
device=*enable
EMMExclude=C000-CFFF,C000-CFFF
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
Paging=on
As far as Vcache goes I have mixed emotions because I've tried with and without with no noticeable difference in performance.
Chunk size:
Chunksize - This setting determines how large the chunks are that are allocated to each program residing in the vcache. A program can have more than one chunk, but if it doesn't divide evenly into the size of the chunk, some RAM goes unused (much like how FAT works for hard drives). On one hand, having a smaller chunk size allows for less wasted RAM in the vcache, however, on the other hand, a larger chunk size increases the access speed for the vcache. Depending on how you use your system, and how much RAM you have to spare, it will determine whether or not you want a large chunk size. Common values for this setting are 128, 256, and 512 KB. This setting is formatted chunksize=XXX, where XXX is the value in KB, and the setting is placed under the [vcache] header.
