Lightbulb 4 out of 5 UNIX users prefer dedicated swap RAIDs. Got swap?

Swap files (in UNIX, 76.2 megabytes per) are essentially virtual memory; that is, hard disk space used as RAM. Swap is much more complex than this, so suffice it to say: dedicated swap RAIDs are best; followed by dedicated swap disks; then dedicated swap partitions; and finally, nondedicated swap directories. You want the fastest, least fragmented hard disk space available for your swap files.
