I have still purchased more RAM so I could dial down the swappiness kernel parameter for Linux and move swap to other disk. With my usage, and more RAM, the swap partition is hardly ever used anyway. I have also set noatime parameter in /etc/fstab and that makes the biggest impact IMHO. Normally Linux sets a time stamp every time a file is accessed, even read-only. That information is almost never used on a home desktop. So, you see I am not losing sleep for the wear of my SSD. Not anymore, anyway , now that I have 3 years of use and I can check Total Bytes Written now and then. |

If you have plenty of RAM (>16 GB?) you could put both browser cache and tmp in RAM and drastically reduce the swappiness as mentioned above.
For Linux google "tmp on tmpfs" or "cache on tmpfs". The main reason for doing this would be to use all that RAM for performance improvements you actually may notice. Last edited by Adoby; 02-13-2018 at 04:17 PM. |
