FC2 and Swapping

Hi All,

Does FC2 ever swap? I upgraded a mail server from FC1 to FC2. It
runs MailScanner, ClamAV, SpamAssassin and is our IMAP mailbox
store.

Under FC1 with our load on a system with 512MB of memory it was
not unusual to see 35MB to 100MB of swap utilized. Under FC2
it is 0.

The system seems to perform a little fast than FC2 did. Every once and
a while it slows to a crawl then speeds up again. This usually happens
when memory intensive apps like SpamAssassin kick in. Never doing
these periods do I see any swap used at all.

So what is the story here?

Thanks,

Mike
