Sorry, as you see english is not my native language and i suppose
i wrote my questions too misty. Anyway now i have answeres to almost
all my questions - only one left (for now). Is it a reason of principle
not to be able to change (or at least enable) swap file at the run-time.
(Full question i sent in follow-up to Charles Sandmann's answers in this 
thread)

Sincerely,
Michael
