I just upgraded to 2.1.130 from 2.0.36, and I was suprised at a couple of
things.

- This morning when I went to start using my machine it seems that my
xterms were put into swap. This supprised me considering that under 2.0.3x
I hardly ever touched swap (Machine doesn't do much). During the night all
that it was doing was playing mp3's.

- Here is the output of vmstat :

## :vmstat
 procs                  memory    swap        io    system         cpu
 r b w  swpd  free  buff cache  si  so   bi   bo   in   cs  us  sy  id
 0 0 0 15588  2508  4912 77736   0   0   21    1  149  249   5   1  94
                         ^^^^^

the amount that has been cached really suprises me. 

- I just have one question; Have I done something wrong, or is it supposed
to do this (ie a feature), or could it possibly be a bug?

My machine is P166 with 96meg ram
2.1.130 UP

Cheers Mof.
