[Asterisk-Users] Tuning the Linux kernel?

[Chris Albertson]

What performance increase do you expect if you don't
load a module?  In theory you'd use less RAM but with
a modern VM system the disk sectors don't get mapped into
physical RAM unless the code is executed.  

Whenever Linux needs more RAM most of the time it simply
overwites the RAM used to hold the executable code used by
some program.  It doesn't even have to bother saving what
was over written because it can always re-read it from
the .so or executable file.  so these "extra modules" just
get over written anyways.  You save very little.
