:Synopsis: The swapper is ineffective

:State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
:State-Changed-By: phk
:State-Changed-When: Fri May 8 13:45:05 PDT 1998
:State-Changed-Why:
:Doing what you suggest would prevent the swapper from acting as
:last defense against low-mem conditions. I belive the future of
:the swapper is generally uncertain with a tendency to "kill it!"
:being mumbled. (Look for NO_SWAPPING in the -current vmcode).
I think the -2.2.x and -current trees already have the
swap-out-code-sleeping-over-N-seconds committed, so even
