You mean permanently deprivating your server of it's precious ram than 
only temporarily? And so far, swapping has always been the worst thing 
to happen for me - whereas mere disk-IO didn't slow _everything_ down.

You should really check your premises on what is affecting performance, 
and what not. And get a faster server...
