Comment 7 for bug 711284

Not sure if this relates to this bug, but I figured that natty (kernel 2.6.38-9) starts filling swap space heavily. I have set vm.swappiness=0... during work system keeps swap empty, after half an hour away (system locked) I realize that swap consumes >600 MB, with 1.2 GB out of 8 GB RAM are used.

Strange, and this happens on all my natty machines (1 thinkpad, 1 ideapad and two desktop power horses). Responsiveness suffers tremendously.

Currently I solve this issue by deactivating swap via swapoff -a and system is as snappy as I am used to from Ubuntu.

Any ideas where this behavior comes from?
