Hi, My suggestion is that, if you are using sane limits in havp, which is BTW a good idea, tmpfs is the best approach. Let's put it this way... If your system is swapping due to a few 5-10 megs tmpfs files, then it's likely that it's going to be swapping anyway. In fact, in most cases, scanning any file is going to take up more memory that it's bare size.
