Disabling mlocate seemed to help a lot.
Its usable now.
Watching System Monitor shows me that it also needs at least another 2GB of memory for me to get the most out of this old machine.
It will stream video for hours now without disk thrashing but RAM use starts at about 70% rising to 96-98%.
When a low-level process starts up it does occasionally hesitate trying to recover/swap enough memory to run.
I'm going to try some audio tasks and monitor memory usage.
Before, when mlocate was hogging resources it would thrash with no load at all just sitting there.
Bill - Would you mind if I moved this thread to Stored Code? A marker/phantom/redirected post will remain here. The Digital Eq and Linux stuff may be more at home there.
