Pres-GasWell, he is not swapping/paging....20:50
PudabudigadaThe odd thing is that with no more flash it works, but it runs youtube fine20:51
PudabudigadaThough i was here: ashens.com20:51
Pudabudigadaby 'works' mean low cpu usage20:52
Pudabudigadaseems flash is the culprit, just youtube pushes the cpu monitor to 95%20:59
