Hi Netters,

I have a color turbo station w/ 16Mb RAM.  I am trying to determine
how much memory is being used by my everyday use.  The system boots
w/ ~20Mb swapfile and if I perform any memory intensive tasks it will
increase up to ~60Mb (the largest I've seen yet). This is simply un-
acceptable since not only do I need my disk space, but I would like
my system to run w/o so much disk i/o.  I am considering a memory 
upgrade and assume that the size of the upgrade has a direct effect
on the size of the swapfile (no?).  But, more over, how much RAM is
being used by the system itself?  Since swapfile starts ~20Mb, can
I safely assume that it needs 36Mb just to run?

No NeXT mail please.
