Increasing swapfile in OS/2 doesn't mean decreasing in speed, OS/2 use different 
technique in swapping datas as compared to windows 3.1.  Size of swapfiles is
often determined by system configurations.  Please read the OS/2 instructions
AND try out youreself in the OS/2 environment B4 making such comments.  Note
that even the location of the swapfile will determine the overall performance of
OS/2. Hopes this answer your BASHING :-)

P.S Don't post Advaocay remarks over one thousand and one places, 
you are wasting people's time and filling garbbages all over.  Following up 
with all your newsgroup list to ensure you read it. 

Last Statement said. I'm not an advocate of any sort and will not followup 
on this thread.  I'm sure Tean OS/2 members will be very happy to enlighten 
you with regard to OS/2.  :-)
