(Just FYI - with newest 2.5/2.6 krnels, swap files are supposed to be as fa=

Not sure this makes a difference, since gpg internally zips the data before=

encrypting it. (Of course, if  the zip algorightm is the memory hog here,=20
zipping the file manually and then encrypting it without the gpg-internal z=

could make a difference.)
