Subject: Thrashing?
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!
