Why? Do you mean that with more swap the OS would load more processes, reducing performance? What do you think the optimal swap size for eskimo should be (with current 320M ram and for future, say 580M)? Also, even without changing the swap size, moving it to faster (raid? sata?) disk might help. tks, Amit
