Huh.  Normally, I'd just put the entire swap file on the secondary HD.  Is
there really an advantage to spreading it on multiple drives?

Also, consider segregating
the OS + apps to one drive and data to another.  Or OS + data on one and
apps on the other.  Move the browser cache and other temp areas to the
secondary drive.  The concept is to spread the IO across both drives as
in a normal Windows desktop environment the C: drive takes the vast
majority of the work.


Ah, yes, the browser cache.  What other "temp areas" are there?
