Is there a speed difference by enabling swap file? Or is it just a temporary storage in case flash memory isn't enough?

Hi Guys

I created swap file of 128 MB on USB. Now, I want to delete the 128 MB swap file and re-create a smaller size swap file say 32 or 64 MB. How do I delete the existing file and re-create a new one.

Tks

PS: I got the answer - just delete and re-create. I was not able to do it with MyMetric skin. But with the default skin, I did it.

Tks
