   Hi Gianfranco

 The use of the swap file and any other memory use is something
 controlled by the operative system, and it (S.O) uses as much memory as
 it needs. So you cant modify the use of the swap file,
 (well, exactly, you can do inmaterial modifications)
 really, the dangerous and critical point is that you could
 have more memory needs, in an incontrolable way, this is
 what you need to avoid. Well, i think so. But you have
 a more powerfull reason: If the swap file is increasing
 too much, it could damage your HD seriously, or alter
 data in it.

   Best regards,
