Unfortunately, this is a major problem. Macs don't run well with Virtual memory

put the swap file on a volume that is not mounted at boot time (i.e. a PGP Disk
volume).

Macs can run much better with VM off in many cases. Just a bit slower and
bigger to load things into the Code Fragment Manager, but that's mostly a hit at
application load time. For a hundred bucks for more RAM you can aleviate any
tradeoffs and have your security.
