i don't think that's quite fair to the current situation. there
was a swapper, and it's broken. it should either be fixed or
removed. leaving the thing in in the state it's in (buffalo
buffalo?) doesn't make any sense, and is as seperate from
the question of whether to page (to disk) or not as, ahem, vm is from
paging (to disk).
imo, swap needs to go.
