[gobolinux-users] Prevent a process from paging out

[Dan]

I use evrouter (http://www.bedroomlan.org/~alexios/ 
coding_evrouter.html) to make the extra buttons on my Logitech mouse  
do stuff. I've noticed recently that if I don't use it for a while,  
it can take as much as a minute for the button press to have any  
result, whereas if evrouter has done something recently, the response  
is instantaneous.

The only guess I have as to why this is happening is the swap file.  
My hard drives are painfully slow, so paging in evrouter could  
definitely explain the delay. Does anyone know a way (other than  
buying more RAM) to prevent the machine from using the swap file for  
a specific process?

Thanks
Dan
