  1. TITLE: 941026 THE SWAPPER FILE IN WARP.
  2.                                                                                 
  3. DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:                                                        
  4.     The swapper file is larger in WARP than in previous releases of             
  5.     OS2.                                                                        
  6.                                                                                 
  7. SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:                                                          
  8.     This is normal.                                                             
  9.                                                                                 
  10. DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:                                                          
  11.     This is normal.                                                             
  12.     The most significant change that has been made is how system DLL's          
  13.     get loaded and what is now valid data for swapping.                         
  14.     System DLL's include:                                                       
  15.     DISPLAY          SOM          PMMERGE      PMWP                             
  16.     DOSCALL1         PMATM        PMMLE                                         
  17.     IBMDEV32         PMCTLS       PMSPL                                         
  18.     IBMVGA32         PMGPI        PMVIOP                                        
  19.                                                                                 
  20.     In the previous versions of OS/2, dll code was never copied to the          
  21.     swapper file.  In WARP, code for system dll's can be written to             
  22.     the swapper file and, in adition, during boot, PMMERGE, DOSCALL1,           
  23.     PMGPI, PMWP and PMVIOP will be swapped out.  This means that there          
  24.     will be an overall increase in swapper size.  This was done                 
  25.     to increase overall system perfomance.
