Performance Bottlenecks and Swap

[guidol]

Here's a paste from top:

Code:

top - 18:32:26 up 23:21,  2 users,  load average: 1.68, 1.83, 1.78
Tasks: 188 total,   2 running, 186 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
%Cpu(s):  8.1 us,  1.8 sy,  0.0 ni, 89.4 id,  0.7 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.1 si,  0.0 st
KiB Mem :  2036344 total,    44104 free,  1786848 used,   205392 buff/cache
KiB Swap:  8111404 total,  6519720 free,  1591684 used.   150457 avail Mem

Ubuntu Mate does use many Ressources - also like Chromium....
So I installed Q4OS v1806
I like it very much because it is so light in using Memory. When I had Chromium open there are 1.3GB cached memory "availabe" and Chromium or Firefox is real useable:

Code:

top - 13:32:41 up  3:19,  2 users,  load average: 1,50, 1,01, 1,08
Tasks: 203 total,   3 running, 182 sleeping,   0 stopped,  18 zombie
%Cpu(s): 22,7 us,  7,2 sy,  0,0 ni, 69,9 id,  0,1 wa,  0,0 hi,  0,2 si,  0,0 st
KiB Mem:   2037388 total,  1953212 used,    84176 free,    35604 buffers
KiB Swap:        0 total,        0 used,        0 free.  1315240 cached Mem

And - I think - this is a good result without additional SWAP-Memory :-)

Only Video-playing with VLC works only with the slow X11 Video-driver and not VDPAU like in the SM Player in Ubuntu
