Got this regarding swap files from another list, courtesy of dave Gillette:
"Windows will allocate swap file space whenever it allocates
swappable RAM -- even if it never actually gets swapped. So a non-
fixed swap file is contantly gorwing and shrinking and getting
fragmented, none of which is good for performance -- and worse if it
*also* gets heavily used.
A fixed swap file on its own partition will never grow, shrink, or
become fragmented. There's no reason the size of this partition
needs tohave any relation to the size of any other partition,
although you might get slightly better performance if it's on a
different drive -- better yet, a different controller! -- from your
system, application, and data files. Most people can't justify that
much effort...."
Makes good sense to me!
