Hi, there,
I'm reading an article from Apple "service training". It says "Disk
Cache... In versions of the OS previous to X, the amount of cache is set
in the Memory control panel. However, it's best to leave the setting at
the defualt. Too much or too little cache can adversely affect
performance. The optimum setting for disk cache is 32K for every MB of
installed RAM."
I don't have enough experience on Mac so far. I'm not quite sure if the
"Disk Cache" here refers to "swap partition" as Linux. In my experience
on Linux, I was told to use as same size as the physical memory - 1GB
swap for 1GB memory. "32K for every MB" - it seems to be too small...
What do you think?
Thanks.
- Calvin
