Well, it is the VM dealing with it, sure, but that doesn't mean it's the VM
causing the problem.
What sort of memory and swap U run, Chris & Steve? Here, I haven't noticed
the issue.. Base system 2.4.20 vanilla Marcelo kernel, Mandrake 9.1 Cooker,
updated twice weekly or so, KDE 3.1 (Mdk cooker version), Athlon C 1.2GHz,
512MB PC2100 memory (ECC), 1GB swap partition, ReiserFS on all partitions but
swap and legacy FAT32. I run a ksysguard kicker applet monitoring all sorts
of stuff, and user memory and buffers usually take about half my real memory
(256MB), with the rest cache. Swap generally runs less than 200M (running
130M now), and I seldom thrash unless I DO have a runaway program (like KView
during the KDE betas). I've not seen that change w/ the new PAN.
I do know PAN takes forever (well, about a minute, I timed it) to load, and
has pretty much since I started running it except during those betas when
they had the fast start code that ended up creating race conditions. I also
know that if I've just done something that cleared the memory fs cache, then
left a bunch of free memory, by the time PAN loads, I have filled memory with
file cache again, after it's read and parsed its message cache. Actual user
memory use doesn't go up so much, but it does read in all those files and
fill up memory with file cache.
