The swap spaces for Eagles on 4.2 are sized at 32M, a doubling of
the 4.1 16M size.  The documentation presents no other rationale
for this increase other than the size of the disks (>400M).  We have
two Eagles on our 780 (swapping on both), and we've never run out of
swap space.  I've been considering using the 16M swap spaces ala 4.1
since they have proven to be adequate with 4.1 and because I'm not
ready to give up 32M for no good reason.  However, I'm wondering if
the additional swap space would improve performace or if the extra
would just be wasted since the 2x16M we have now is adequate.  Could
anyone offer advice on this point?
