Move swap to another partition, revisited again
Authored by: g3ski on Jun 20, '05 04:24:59AM

For those who want to move swap without all of the terminal fun, Xupport makes it easy. I have it on a variety of 10.3.x setups with various drives and paritions.

I have also noticed (there is a thread about this somewhere) that while activity monitor reports massive amounts of VM usage, 11GB right now for me, the swap files max out at about 1.5-2 times total ram. I have 2GB and after running a bunch of apps to eat up ram (iphoto, photoshop major image resizing, lots of QT movies, etc) I have been unable to create more than 3GB worth of swap files.

I can't say that I notice the difference in speed on a DP 867 MDD, but I think it would be useful on older SP Macs like 'books.
