[snip]

No nasty swapping sounds when booting.  xterms etc come up quickly
again with no excess of disk activity.  After about 5 minutes under
openwin xterms refuse to refresh, moving an obscuring window leaves
a big unrendered footprint, mouse cursor can still be moved.  On
exit from openwin the X session hangs everything, rebooted from
the switch.
