KPv48
RAM: ~170MB
Swap: 90MB

KPv48_Compcache (disksize 98304)
RAM: ~200MB
Swap: 120MB

Wonder why RAM and swap usage is so much higher? I tried to do excatly same things in both cases.
Swap use is higher...Because you now have less RAM...

I imagine the 'swap settings for high I/O' or whatever that thread was called has more appropriate swap settings than say swappolube defaults.

Reasoning is swappolube optimises for minimal swapping (hence low swappiness) and the 'high I/O' settings optimise for lots of little swaps.
