DESCRIPTION

The Swapper file is larger in OS/2 Warp than in previous OS/2 releases.

RESOLUTION

In previous versions of OS/2, DLL code was never copied to the Swapper 
file. In OS/2 Warp, code for system DLLs can be written to the Swapper 
file and, during startup, PMMERGE, DOSCALL1, PMGPI, PMWP, and PMVIOP 
are swapped out. This means an overall increase in the size of the 
Swapper file, and an increase in overall system performance.

The most significant change is how system DLLs are loaded and what is 
now valid data for swapping. System DLLs include:

   DISPLAY          SOM             PMMERGE      PMWP
   DOSCALL1         PMATM           PMMLE
   IBMDEV32         PMCTLS          PMSPL
   IBMVGA32         PMGPI           PMVIOP
