Can swap really slow the system because it uses the hard-disk as a RAM unit ?
I have Fedora 24 (Gnome) here with 8 gigabytes of swap and 6 gigabytes of ram , but i am noticing a very bad conditional lag when using the system , when i open the monitor i find that the hard-disk usage is high .
Note : Although i used this laptop on windows and it was noticeably faster than here.
