How will increasing the swap file make OS/2 faster,wouldn't it just 
increase the amount of memory available as a swap file and therefore 
allow you to open a larger program or graphics file?I don't see how it 
would increase the speed.For what it's worth a magazine up here in Canada 
did extensive comparison tests between beta Win95,OS/2 and System 7.5 for 
Mac and they determined thet Win95 is faster and less demanding than OS/2.
Win95 is also more robust according to them but they did say that both 
operating systems had their good and bad points.Remember though that 
Win95 is still beta so I am sure the final product will be improved from 
what it is now.That's my 0.02 cents worth.
