            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,
