Gnome Icons, themes and window decorator.

Yesterday, I had tried fusion theme, but that did not work our that good for me. Reasons multifold:

1. I like the features of GNome
2. I am used to GNome
3. Other window managers did not look that lucarative to me.
4. Compiz was chocking my CPU..
   and so on..

So I went back to my GNome but wanted to change the looks so searched enough today to get the right set of Icons and themes. I think I finally got some decent ones and here are the links for the icons that I liked:

Unixmen - Tips to reduce memory usage on Firefox

A nice aritcle on reducing the memory usage of firefox on <a class="zem_slink" title="Linux" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux">Linux.

There are some things in life everyone is looking for and no one ever finds and there are other things that people keep finding and re-finding and inventing and re-inventing. Reducing memory usage for <a class="zem_slink" title="Firefox" rel="homepage" href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/">Firefox and speeding it up is one such thing.

Are you swapped? Increase the performance of Linux machine.

With the ever increasing cost of the Hardware, the amount of physical RAM available on the system is increasing day by day. For example, couple of years back, I had a system which was very high end Desktop with 256MB RAM and today I have a 2GB RAM Desktop. So, whats the point.

The Linux systems (right word should be kernel) are desiged to use both RAM and swap partition. Swap partition is a partition on Hard disk and is used mostly like RAM. Problem is that HDD access is always slower than RAM access and hence inherently, the system will work little slower even if you have enough RAM not to use swap. The term &#8221;swappiness&#8221; is used to determine how the kernel should try to seam-balance between the use of RAM and swap. By default, most of the distro&#8217;s have a swappiness of 60. A higher value of swappiness means that the RAM will be swapped out faster.
