What size for the swap with a kernel 2.4x and 8GB RAM 661
ArintŽ You provide little information, so I'll guess at a few possible issues. Since the script works for you, the first thing we may want to look at is what user is...

If you want to test things try my hashlib, written in portable standard C. At present its table size is limited to about 8 x 10e6 entries, but you can easily change that by adding about 8 entries to the primetbl at about line 90 (instructions in the source), which will increase the capacity by 256 times. The testing code makes entries of 4 byte length, which together with the pointer in the table requires 8 bytes per entry. This will get the memory usage will up in the 6 gigabyte range, and all you have to do is run the testing software with the appropriate command line parameters. Then see what your virtual memory system does.
following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...: I was corrected on the above, as it would seem that the size limit to...
hashtest -h (or any other non-numeric parameter) gives instructions. Tests that can suppress hshkill show up O(N) operation of free, resulting in O(N*N) program exit timing. So it can show up quite a lot about your system performance.
