      A file used by a {program} or, more often,

      allocated as a long contiguous section of a {hard disk} to
      reduce access time.   The disk space used for a swap file can
      not be used for other things.   Under {Microsoft Windows}, swap
      files are recommended not to exceed three times the available
      {RAM} and are usually 150 percent of the RAM size.
