Custom MinFreeManager settings

[nikc4]

I ran ThundeROM for a little bit, and noticed that it had much higher numbers in MinFreeManger than the aggressive setting. It had me thinking that there must be a specific setup for this phone that would work best, and considering how well TR worked, those numbers are probably pretty close to optimal. I don't have those numbers anymore, because i flashed a different rom, but i think it would be useful to everyone here if those numbers were posted. If the ROM chef doesn't want them released, i understand completely.

I'm not to handy with coding, so I'm a little lost here. Are those last 6 numbers the new minfree parameters?

Those are stock values, those are the values, in page sizes, to figure out how many mb's each one is, just multiply it by 4 and divide by 1024

This was mentioned by KSmithInNY in the "[How-To] Root LG Optimus S" thread. Read the article here. It should explain everything.
