My swap is completly empty despite near completly loaded ram. I foudn that the swap priority is -3, most likely the problem. But when i try to set pri=1, this changes nothing. does anyone have and ideas? If so, they would be greatly appreciated.

no deaths so far, but a little swap would be extreamly helpful. I'm working as its quite irritating. especialy for little used progs that dont much need the speed of ram (gdeskelts)

It takes a few times (or it did for me) of flipping through it for it all to sink in
