In any case, the program *does* know (or should) know the number of tiles that it can have (tile cache size), the number of tiles in memory (referenced tiles plus unswapped tiles), and number of tiles on disk (swapped tiles). So you really don't care much about the size of the swapfile, since it can only get so big. Federico
