I read somewhere that the harddisk would do some swapping as the hash got bigger but it never did on mine. Bravo to you. Now I know why. All the times I have been playing has been with a hash of 1 meg which is the default ttable_size=20 setting. I have 64 megs memory which allows me to up the hash to 8 megs (ttable_size=23) without any swapping, but after that there is major disk activity and if I set it at ttable_size=26 (64 megs) the disk swaps for close to 2+ minutes each time to rebuild the tables. Thanks very much for pointing this out. > >I have definitely confirmed this based on problem solution times and "memory >available". I did this months ago. I have lost the problem solution times.
