[CUBE] Pussy Code optimisation

[Michael Adams]

I had this problem too a while ago on my iBook... my hard drive just 
kept on shrinking. Turned out that the /private/var/vm/ directory had 
about 30 or so swap-files in it, each at 78mb! So I rebooted and gained 
about 7gigs of free hard drive.

I think the reason for the huge number of swap-files was because I 
hadn't rebooted for over a month and I tend to run lots of programs at 
once. Also, MacroMedia Fireworks did a rather spectacular crash a few 
days earlier, gobbling up a whole gig, mainly in swap, I believe. (Btw, 
I have 640mb of ram.)
