Thanks for the reply Chris.

Firstly - I let the installer Auto allocate the whole drive (30gb).. not
sure how I check now how much swp space has been allocated :(

Seems even the mighty Firefox is also considerably slower than on say
Windows. I don't want to sound like I'm flaming Linux here - I'm not.
Its probably more to do with my setup than anything; or just the fact
that FC4 isn't very refined?! I don't know.
