This is totally wrong in the case of Linux (ok, not unix, but even more
common).
With a better layout, gimp swapping should be able to succeed virtual
memory in all cases (of if partition writes are faster).
(Ok, 2.4 will fix most of linux´ swpaping mess and use a better layout on
disk, but at the moment what I say holds).
