Indeed, I did not find any memory/swap file management in LR. As for the computer memory, - this computer has 2GB physical memory and I don't see the system hitting it while LR is working. Somehow, it is indeed related to LR doing something of its own in the first 2-5-10-15 minutes.. It is somewhat wierd, taking into account that sometimes it may be immediately following the optimization of its database, and that it doesn't happen everytime I start LR.
