Can anyone explain why Gnu Smalltalk on my machine seems to swap constantly ?? Even with very simple programs that are not disk intensive, Smalltalk seems to access the disk continuously (and is horribly slow on very simple tasks). My configuration is: Gnu Smalltalk 1.1.1 NeXTstation w/ 8 MB RAM NeXTstep 2.1 Any suggestions would be *greatly* appreciated. At present, the system is hardly usable.
