Swappiness deals with the swap partition & RAM. It's value ranges from 0 to 100. Generally , swappiness controls the linux kernel tendency to swap. It swaps the list of information from swap partition to RAM & vice-versa.
Value 0 : It avoids the swapping of processes out from the RAM into Swap partition.
Value 100 : It aggressively swaps the processes out from RAM into Swap partition.
In ubuntu or many other linux distros the default value is 60 , which is quite higher. Lower the value of swappiness higher is the performance since there will be no swapping. In order , to change the value of swapiness to much lower amount follow this steps.
a.) To Temporarily Change The Value , execute the following commands in the terminal
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10
b.) To Preserve the following execute the following command in the terminal to edit /etc/sysctl.conf file
sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
Add the following lines to end of the file
vm.swappiness=10
