   If I disable swap that could really slow down the system. :(

   There is no reason for me to adjust swap settings.   
   swap is on the disk, not memory resident. See   
   $ grep swap /etc/fstab   
   LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0   
      
   $ blkid | grep swap   
   /dev/sdb1: LABEL="swap" UUID="f4d61d52-4313-4b1-597fb37ece22" TYPE="swap"   
      
   $ swapon -s   
   Filename         Type            Size    Used    Priority   
   /dev/sdb1        partition       3903756 120     0   
      
   By the way that ~3.9G is because I made the swap partition about the   
   size of ram at the time. I'll probably just make that a gig when I   
   reformat the drive.

   I just can not see wasting memory seen here   
   $  df -kh | grep tmpfs   
   devtmpfs        3.8G     0  3.8G   0% /dev   
   tmpfs           3.8G  1.2M  3.8G   1% /dev/shm   
   tmpfs           3.8G  4.1M  3.8G   1% /run   
   tmpfs           3.8G     0  3.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup   
      
   I would like to see something like   
   devtmpfs        495M     0  495M   0% /dev   
   tmpfs           500M  1.1M  499M   1% /dev/shm   
   tmpfs           500M  1.7M  498M   1% /run   
   tmpfs           500M     0  500M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup   
   tmpfs           500M  4.0K  500M   1% /tmp

   It is not a matter of kde/terminal performance at the moment.
