[QUOTE="cradom, post: 1578479, member: 305283"] Install more ram. Then it will use very little swap if any. With 8 gig memory I'm using 1 gig swap on my laptop. On my imac with 16 gig I don't have a swap file (unless I run a LOT of apps at once). As far as limiting swap, no, although I think you can turn it off if you're familiar with the command line. I seriously don't recommend it. [/QUOTE]
