Well, i installed again Haiku on an old computer: an Acer Veriton 9100,
which is provided with 256 MiB of DRAM. The last time which i have used
Haiku on this pc, I was using Alpha 3, but due to bug #8136, i didn't used
often this PC.
In anyway, differently from the last time, now Haiku DEVOURS the RAM on
this PC. Just opening WebPositive (also without any webpage opened) and i
can see 241 MiB of ram occupied, and opening applications, take a while.
Eg. opening the "About this system" take about 5 seconds. The situation is
worst if i attempt to open more complex apps.
Obviously i have activated the virtual memory (with auto management).
But Haiku, on this computer, is almost unusable.
Obviously i don't pretend that this PC should work like a dual core with 6
GiB of ram (my main pc), but, to do a comparision, Windows XP works
decently on this Acer Veriton.
Maybe the work on the Scheduler http://www.haiku-
os.org/blog/paweł_dziepak/2013-10-21_scheduler_work_progress will help the
situation?
