See https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/linux-swappiness/ Setting it to a much lower number (like 20) sounds like it would work better if your ram usage is fairly stable. Sound like, “try it and see” is called for (an painless). ../Dave On Sep 5, 2018, 6:52 AM -0400, o1bigtenor via talk <talk@gtalug.org>, wrote:

Greetings
Article looks interesting except the systemd provisions are attributes and and are not mentioned. Bottom of the article indicates a somewhat recent editing date but with no mention of systemd I have further questions. The article mentions places to change 'swappiness' and I can find the actual file but there is nothing in the sysctl.conf (IIRC the name) file re: swappiness. Somehow I would prefer something that did refer to systemd foibles as well for a guide so as not to really pooch anything.
I, too, am interested largely because I have lots of ram and wouldn't mind speed enhancements.
