- I am experiencing exactly the same problem. I have 16mb of ram and have my
- swapfile start at 1mb. After going for about two hours with several programms
- starting and ending, I had a swapfile at about 10mb. I closed _all_
- applications except for pmshell (two instances) and harderr. I left the
- computer for an hour while I went to the store and the swapfile was still
- at the same size. At times the swapfile will shrink but only very slightly.
- I also was fine before the CSD and had no problems with GA+swapfile patch.
- I have deleted the swapfile many times but to no avail... Someone help us
- PLEASE!!!!!
