# The swappiness parameter configures how often your system swaps data out of RAM to the swap space. # This is a value between 0 and 100 that represents a percentage. # # With values close to zero, the kernel will not swap data to the disk unless absolutely necessary. # Remember, interactions with the swap file are "expensive" in that they take a lot longer than # interactions with RAM and they can cause a significant reduction in performance. # Telling the system not to rely on the swap much will generally make your system faster. vm.swappiness = 10
