  The problem with letting the system assign swap space on the
fly is that it is much slower -- it takes time for the system to
assess its needs, make the swap space, then swap. If there is a
permanent swap file bigger than what you have seen it go to
before, then that is faster. In your case, with previously an
18meg space, make it 20meg. BTW, you don't have to have the swap
space on your C drive. You can put it anywhere. I put mine in the
root directory of my biggest drive -- E:, but I'm playing with a
32 meg FAT partition for the swap space of both Linux and Warp
-- giving the file the same name for each system.
