Hi.  I finally upgraded my 4/330 to 32 MB memory.  I was wondering if
people out there have experience in optimizing performance for such
configurations.  The questions I have are:

1) How much swap space should I have.  I currently have 32 MB.  I recall
   seeing somewhere that swap space should be atleast twice the RAM.

2) Does it matter if this swap space is not contiguous. The only place on
   my disk I can create a ~30 MB file right now is in one of the /home
   partitions.

3) "limit" shows stack size to be 8 MB.  Should this be changed to
   something else of better performace.

4) What else can I do to optimize performace.

I frequently run programs which require about 20 MB swap space.  I now
hope to run more than one simultaneously.  Please email the replies to me.
I will summarize if there is sufficient interest.
