Have not seen a method to dynamicly grow the file, but it certainly
kills performance once you fill mem, swap and then go to disk file! 
When 8.2 comes out I will redo the disk layout to something a bit more
suited to what I need when I upgrade.  With win2000 prof, swap and
reiserfs partitions on the same system, its rather difficult to just
adjust things!
