I'm not sure what gave me this idea, but I decided
to comment out the swap partition in /etc/fstab

any time.
I'm running more things now than I would ever dream of
to hammer my 500MB of memory, but I still notice NO
slowdown. This is the best desktop experience I've
ever had for any OS on any hardware!
Er...you won't experience any slowdown...you would experience killed app.

As you can see, I'm running a KDE environment. I'm going to
try this in a gnome environment tomorrow.
...Interesting, the numbers do not add up...I wonder what happens as you
visit more websites with firefox...and if you also run thunderbird at
the same time...
Maybe you should stick to konqueror and kmail...
Hope this makes someone else's day!
My apologies if I burst any bubbles :-D
