Marc,

May I ask why your swap partition is so large? It seems very large to me.

You now have 1.5 GB virtual memory. This may be useful if you have a very
large /tmp directory mapped to swap, e.g.

	/dev/wd0b /tmp         mfs    rw,-s=1048576  0 0

Where "-s 1048576" specifies the size of /tmp in sectors (512 MB).
