I just got a new 1.67 GHz powerbook, threw in a gig and a half of ram, and I still have pageouts! Just checked Activity moniter, over 100k! Am not doing anything particularly strenuous...what gives?

It's not how many pageouts you have, it's how many per seceond that you have. Another thing to look at is the total size of the swapfiles in /var/vm - note do not delete these, the OS manages the creation and deletion itself.supafly1703 said:I just got a new 1.67 GHz powerbook, threw in a gig and a half of ram, and I still have pageouts!

Yes we could. However, just go over to Wikipedia and look at their artcle on paging.p0intblank said:Can someone please explain to me what a pageout is?

How many widgets are you running? Some of the widgets seem to be memory hungry.supafly1703 said:I just got a new 1.67 GHz powerbook, threw in a gig and a half of ram, and I still have pageouts! Just checked Activity moniter, over 100k! Am not doing anything particularly strenuous...what gives?

Chundles said:Mine's been up just shy of 9 days and has 72700 page outs compared with close to 300,000 page ins. Not too bad at all I don't think considering I've been doing some video encoding recently.

eXan said:Actually video-editing apps usually take no more than 50-70 MB (my Final Cut Pro and iMovie), cuz they dont load video footage into the ram for the simple reason that video is very large in size and even 8 gigs of RAM will not be enough for it. So they use video from HD thats why HD speed is so important when rendering video
