Pagepool set to zero

[diomark]

Hi,

Is there a reason for the pagepool at all on our devices?

I've been running WM6.1 with a pagepool set to 0 for the last two weeks - and I've had zero issues outside of the sd corrupted issue. My device feels really speedy..

Is anyone else running with pagepool of 0? Any pros/cons?

dont set it too high or else itll slow down and i believe too low will slow it down too because it constantly is swapping the temp data instead of saving it into that pagepool RAM. so i dont think 0 is an optimal setting, nor is say 32mb

I would love to see some benchmarks on this - mine feels very fast set to zero. perhaps the ram on the touch is fast enough that the pagepool is not needed?

I know my phone felt faster with a pagepool set at 24 and 32, but then I also had random lock ups. Now I have it set to 12 and it feels a little slower and I get that waiting icon more, but no lockups. I guess its a trade off. Maybe I'll try 18 next.

I would tend to agree with this.
It makes sense that they would set it at 12 if there was a reason to.
(ie. It's NOT logical that they would randomly set it at 12!)

Nothing about the Vogue makes much sense in the first place... what's with all the random lockups, SD corruption, and just slower-than-hell performance?

No surprise to me if they just set it at 12, "just cuz."

So far the ROMs i've tried the fastest one has a pagepool of 6mb so take a hint ?

cooked a rom last night, and set pagepool to 6, seemed faster, but no benchmarks to add as proof
