+ <p>Swap memory or <gui>swap space</gui> is the on-disk component of the virtual

+ <gui>swap file</gui> when Linux is first installed, but can also be added
+ later.</p>
+

+ system runs more slowly if there is excessive swapping, or <gui>thrashing</gui>,
+ when the system is unable to find enough free memory. In this situation the only
+ solution is to add more RAM.</p></note>
