     <SIGGGGGGGH> I deal with this kind of IDIOCY all the time.  Don't you
UNDERSTAND that Virtual Memory is 10,000x slower than RAM?  LITERALLY?
Havent I already SAID this?

     You're talking about using disk space to imitate RAM.  A real dumb idea.
 I'm talking about using RAM to form a cache for the HD.  Instead of using
unbelievably slow HD space, you use incredibly fast RAM.
