So I would like to ask if swap letting X (and everything else in my

behaviour, in the sense that nobody is trying to "fix" it (due to it
being considered impossible to fix)...? Sorry for being off-topic, but I
run a minimal Window Maker desktop in a P4 3.0 GHz with 512 MB of RAM
(around 140 MB being used as per 'free'), and trying to load a 380 MB
text file in xjed editor makes my whole desktop quite unfair... it takes
tens of seconds to switch desktop, type things in the terminal etc. When
xjed finishes loading the text file, everything comes back to "fair"
again.

I propose you start a new thread about this with proper Subject, and CC
the scheduler maintainers.

Thanks,
