What would be better solution? To have System or swap file on faster drive.
I would say swap file but have no chance to test it right now.

And what would be ideal size of drive or rartiton for just System + System
Application and say 0,5 to 1 GB swap file. I had never installed whole
System.

And third ask for tip. Would you recomend to have swap file with System a
Syst. App. or on drive with all other files and apps. I understand that it
can probably depend on what kind of work I do and size of files I work with.
So say general office work some basic scaning etc.

Thanks a lot
