I recently upped my physical memory to 32 MB. I vaugely recall someone suggesting that the swapfile should be at least as large as the physical memory. NeXT has a default lowat of 20 MB. Should I increase the lowat to 32 MB? -- Don McGregor | Double your pleasure, double your fun. Xerox drm@esl.com | your paycheck.

This does not seem necessary, since the swapfile will grow automatically. You will probably have very little swapping (except if you use Mathematica). You may, however, want to increase your hiwat if you have set it. -- Hardy ----- Meinhard E.
