disk thrashing

[Philip, Anil]

ok, thanks - I thought that thrashing depended both on the size of swap
space and available RAM.

Oh, and the size of your swap partition doesn't affect how much thrashing
you see - thrashing (often) happens when you run very low on physical RAM
and the system starts swapping pages for basic operations.
