I *REALLY* don't want the machine to swap. If I have a choice between
using 300MB less RAM and not ever having to touch disk unnecessarily,
I'll choose 300MB less RAM until the VM system gets the swap-less kinks
worked out of it. The way the box is setup, it should *never* have a
reason to page something to disk.
