    I have an interesting question:

    If I setup a separate swap partition and format it for a sector size
    which is the same as the page size (8K?), will this enhance the NeXT's
    paging efficiency?	Well, the answer to that question is guarenteed to
    be 'yes', so the real question is 'how noticable will the effect be?'
