Pete,
I mentioned windows because I understand it exhibits both
problems. It doesn't use a large swap space and it can slow down with the
management overhead. I haven't noticed any difference in speed with Linux
when I give it a 128mb swap even if 20 mb is enough. In other words, a

Linux will use a swap partition of up to 128 meg. You can add swap files
if you need more. I haven't heard anything about slowdowns. Maybe you're
