swap size max and file transfer speed

Is there a limit on the size that one swap file can be?

Other reasons why moving files to the V880 is slow and moving files off the
V880 is fast?

I'm working with a V880 with 2 CPU and 4 G mem, planning on 8 G mem, and
6x72G fiber drives. Moving files to the V880 is _slow_, moving files from the
V880 is fast. One fella here wondered if the 17G swap file were the cause.

I'm googling like a mad man on this and when I asked this group when I was
setting this up, those who replied said 2-4 times mem and 17G is 4x now and 2x
soon. There were no caviots about having only one file.

Summary to follow.
