Yeah, unfortunately, on a larger memory system it is eating up 5% of my
main partition. (1GM,20Gdisk). Now if you combine that with a "recommended 1.5X
swap" (I actually run with 0, despite PERFOS.DLL bug that causes it to fault
under such circumstances), that'd use 7.5% of my disk partition. It's not
even placed out of the way, at the end of the disk, to not fragment the free
space and not waste inner track speed.
Sigh...
