Date: 04 Feb 1997 01:06:00 GMT Organization: Sony Systems Design Corp., Takanawa, Tokyo Lines: 12 Message-ID: <JUN.97Feb4100600@goten.sinfony.ad.jp> NNTP-Posting-Host: goten.gotenyama.sinfony.ad.jp Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:35002 The subject says it all.... With dedicated hardwares e.g. Suns, I occasionally hear that interleaved swap partitions improve paging performance. But how about the case with a ubiquitous PC MB plus *signle channel* SCSI a la AHA2940, and FreeBSD? Is it faster? Your comments are welcomed, thanks! Regards, junichi
