Larry,
This is a very good concern and point given todays more
common huge memory foot prints and lots of spindles. I'll
keep this in they back of my mind as I tromp around in the
dump code. I have another solution that may work for you
and that is to use Netdump rather than swapdump. This
basically eliminates the trip to swap space and you end
up going to savecore style output on the netdump server.

What does it take for NetDump to work to a FreeNAS (9.10 nightly) server si=
