It should be enough to increase the available virtual space by changing
that #define.
It won't need a swap file unless the program forces all that to be
allocated, which it shouldn't,
and if it does, you still won't want to swap since it doesn't work well.

In fact, I've ripped the paging and swap crud out of my own systems. The
time for that was years ago,
and it certainly makes no sense at all on any small device. The code and
data get a lot simpler too.
