Another bennie is the swapfile isn't spotting throughout the windows
partition, causing other modified and new file writes to fragment.
Even though its just a tad slower, am using an ultrascsi hard drive for the
swapfile location rather than any hard drive on my Promise ATA100
controller. Have onboard ide too that's full up.
