Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Hi, 

The new kernel of linux 2.6.33 brings a new interesting feature 
(Compcache). 

http://code.google.com/p/compcache/ 

This feature its good for embebeded systems with low memory availabe 
like our NAS. 

¿Its is possible to add this feature in snake os?

It seems this kernel feature is not for this slow low memory device.  :((

"HDD seems to fairly consistently outperform CompCache by a tiny 
margin on this machine. While performance without swap can vary 
wildly, both HDD swap and CompCache seem to give decent solid 
performance. Hence I would recommend that Pentium 500's use HDD swap 
if available, use CompCache swap otherwise and try to avoid swapless 
configurations if they have only 256MB of RAM." 

Isn't it means that in our case ns-k330 (with 250MHz) it is not 
recommended to use this new feature? (more over hdd swap than compcash)
