It will definetly be a slower swaping, but I don't know if it will slow down the regular swaping (under normal condi- tions, when only the primary swap CAN be used). Neither I know how much slower it is by itself, but having the flexibility is an obvious advantage. -mi -- -- Why is that 2 o'clock all the time?! -- It is a manometer!!!
