Thrashing?
IMHO it's dependend on your data size and the functions you use. I'm getting same behaviour (suse9) when i use mysqlWriteTable and reshape with large datasets and a upgrade from 512MB to 1GB works much more better - but now i dream from 2GB-4GB. christian

Does R do its own swapping out to disk? I disabled Linux swapping and the system still gets stuck in Purgatory where there's little CPU activity but the disk goes like crazy. That's with R having almost the whole machine to itself and running a memory hungry compute only function. I've seen this behavior with other version numbers but I'm running R 2.0.0 under Fedora Core 3. The system is a laptop with 1 Gig. RAM. Thanks!
