	Let me get behind Lowell on this bit. The box I am typing on
has 512 mb memory; because that may get bumped to 1 Gb it has 2 Gb
swap split over two disks.

	In the current paradigm, disk space is dirt cheap - ~$0.60/Gb at
the first place I could find in my bookmarks.  If "out of memory" or
performance problems affect mission-critical work, then you need to
gum the bullet and get more disk space.

	One man's opinion,
