Anyone tried it? I am Downloading,patching & compiling it. lets see how it goes
 
Okay, no response. Anyways I tried it and desktop *feels* more responsive.Even at 100% CPU usage, my system didn't freeze or slow down. I Will to use & test it further
 
Also try putting the following in your /etc/sysctl.cnf (and reboot)

vm.swappines=1

vm.overcommit_memory = 2

vm.overcommit_ratio = 200

The bottom two lines will increase your RAM usage at the cost of your swap usage and will cause applications to seg fault if you are out of memory (unless they handle it - which most do). But your machine will be much faster.
