One generally resorts to swapping when you have 10 pounds of active processes that want to fit into a 2 pound sack (memory). Our primary 11/70 has 1.5 megabyte of main memory, yet with 35 software engineers logged in we do a gross amount of swapping. A solid state swapper would be a boon for us. -berry kercheval
