I know that with my quad (16 GB RAM), it doesn't need to swap unless it really has to. Once it starts though, specially for the stuff that I do, it can pretty much go on indefinitely. Curious to find out what other people's experiences with swap files are (and varying sizes) and based on what you do/doing/have done - what are some of the largest swap file sizes that you've seen.

Does Windows run faster with or without it? Try setting it to no swap file, rebooting, and waiting.
