   I think your swap partition is suppose to grow if your RAM grows,
go figure. Try a lot more RAM and see if it improves, I have
1 gig of RAM (purchased to allow an entire music CD be loaded
into RAM and edited W/O using any swap disk space) I have no
swap! I consider my X performance to be better than any Winblows
I have seen. ???
   Other than swapping to disk, I never heard of the amount
of memory effecting LINUX stuff's operating speed, I thought
that was a proprietary property of Winblows.
