Yes, but I am not sure what difference that will make.  I would think a
swapfile is a swapfile.  Yes I am swapping on a file because the image
autogrew the filesystem on first boot, so no chance to set up a
partition.

It should be noted that by getting rid of the tmpfs /tmp I was able to
complete a kernel build. At no time did my monitored use of swap exceed
10%.
