I'm really not sure how the various flavors of Windows manage
virtual memory and swap files. In general I don't think it's a good idea
to depend on swap space too much. Things tend to slow down
a lot, and you never know when you might run out of memory.
A better solution might be to use your own data files, and
only load a reasonable amount of data into memory at one time.
