just to let folks know that I implemented the multiple parallel swap partition idea from
http://www.fiveanddime.net/ss/swap.htm
as mentioned by Roger Barnes.. Sweep now goes like a rat up a drainpipe loading the input file into 1-2 gigs of swap.


The /etc/fstab entries :-
/dev/hdc7 none swap sw,pri=3 0 0         (both SATA drives)
/dev/hda5 none swap sw,pri=3 0 0

Thans Roger & others for responding.
Rod
