With swapspace it seems the more the merrier.
X11 is a memory eater.....even under mu.
and yes it will speed up your system a bit.
I use a swap space/files/partitions.....on all my systems.
from old clunker 386 sx16's with 4 megs to PII servers with 384 megs.
swap space???....er uh........windoze uses em too 8^P except they call
it "virtual memory" and if you choose to with windoze you can allow the
O/S itself to dynamically resize it's virtual memory, at the small cost
of further system speed degradation
BTW it seems there was a reference to a certain "Michele Andreoli".
in the book "RedHat Linux 6 unleashed"......I'll try to find it again
and report on the page number*grin*
good luck
