8.04 ltsp +slow

Moin Uwe and Ken!

You only need NBD-swap if your client-RAM is lower than 256mB. My
experences on gutsy showed, that I could switch of NBD-swap on clients
with 128mB saving network traffic. 

It should be a dirty, but fast fix to switch off the swap with  
NBD_SWAP = false.

The updated documentation  
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspDocumentationUpstream
says:

3.1.4. Thin Client Ram
The bare minimum for a thin client to work is about 48MB, but it will be
unusably slow, so it is recommended to install at least 128MB Ram, with
256MB Ram if you can spare it. This will really help speed up thin
clients. 

If you have a root password in your chroot, you can lock on the terminal
(Alt+F1) on the client and use free -m to look if the client uses any
swap.
