[X-Unix] SetFile

[Rich Sweeny]

All of the machines in question are dual CPU G5's with 2GB of RAM. I read
somewhere that creating a swap file larger than 512mb was a waste of disk
space. I have never had any problems and all of the machines are used in a
Prepress House where the image files can be from 10mb to 500mb.

The particular machine I am having the problem with is a 15", 1.5GHz G4
powerbook with 2GB of RAM and I have experienced no problems, so far,
related to my swap file size. Except of course trying to hide the thing.

Aren't you running into problems all the time or are you quitting all
your programs constantly?

I usually have a swap size of 2-3 GB, even with my 1GB RAM on my PB,
but then again, I open about 100 web pages every morning before I leave
home.

Cheers,

Kim
