Apparantly, Apple is interested in porting Sun Solaris' ZFS to Mac OS X. From the zfs-discuss mailinglist: "Chris Emura, the Filesystem Development Manager within Apple's CoreOS organization is interested in porting ZFS to OS X. For more information, please e-mail him directly at [email address]. Speaking for the zfs team (at Sun), this is great news and we fully support the effort."

Regarding a fixed swap to prevent disk slowing due to fragmentation and/or resizing, for those with 2GB of RAM fix the swap size at 0.

Completely disabling swap is not recommended in Windows. I've never personally tried it on my box with 2 GB of RAM, but I've heard that some programs cease to function when no page file is available.

I've never had any issues with running windows without swap. My xp machine has 1gb of ram and hasn't had swap in years. no problems. Don't believe everything you hear/read.
