>It's easy to *try* the swap files. Then measure the performance. =20 >If the behaviour is really as specific to your custom application as you i= ndicate, then general advice may not apply either. In fact, after discussing this with the team, we are going to do exactly th= at. We'll allocate an extra 8GB of swap space through an image file and let= QA run their stress tests to see how things behave. That's the only way to= know for sure if this will work for us. Thanks for the feedback. Peter
