I was mainly talking about using the "echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness" 
command on the ck kernels. But this does bring up a question I've had. 
By default  "/proc/sys/vm/max_map_count" is set to 65536. Is this enough 
as it's only 256MB? Setting it to 98304 would raise it to 384MB. Anyone 
have an opinion?
