This is my first post here, so I would prefer some kind guidance if I behave too noobish.įirst of all, I would like to show my appreciation for all the hard work the community has put and keeps on putting into Arch Linux. Hello to all in the Arch Linux community. Strange hardware behaviour and trackpad issues on C720 It does seem a little wierd that kswap uses 100% cpu for this, zram could helps in this, but that takes CPU cycles. Initially RAM usage is not too bad with several tabs open leaving me to believe there is some pretty bad memory leaks happening on chrome. Just having i3, a terminal and several chromium tabs leaves me with ~300MB of RAM and kswap begins thrashing. I recently switched from gnome to i3 in an effort to bring down RAM usage, however chromium is the main culprit of this. This might not be exclusive to the C720 (in fact "kswap 100% cpu" returns many matches), but I wonder if I'm the only one experiencing it on this specific piece of software (one thread hinted that it might be related to "bad RAM") Using "# renice -n 19 32" helps (the pid of my kswapd0 is always 32 not sure if that's expected), but it's just an ugly hack. Anyone else here having trouble with kswapd0? Once in a while (specially with Firefox and some steam games), swap will be activated and then kswapd0 will take 100% of one of the CPUs, resulting in sluggish performance on games.
