Hmmm... I'm not completely sure if I understand the problem. Do you mean
that your vfat access is slower in general when running mprime? Or just
when you just have started mprime, and it's reading the p-file from
disk? And what is this `swapping' you're talking about, is that disk
access?
(A simple but ugly solution would be storing all your mprime files
(INI-files, p/q files, etc.) on an ext2 partition, and copy them
to/from the vfat partition automatically on boot and reboot. (How
you do this depends a bit on your distribution.) Of course, if you
don't use Windows very much, you could drop `Windows support' totally.)
