The problem with OSX's "add swap files as necessary" strategy is that it seems like it never clears them back out, unless the moon is full on a Tuesday, or something. I've now taken to watching the swap size on my laptop (using iStatMenus), and if it ever gets above 2GB total, I just reboot, because at that point, everything is gonna be gummy, and that seems to be the only way to clear it. -- Randal L.
