We already have 100M of swap don't we?  Arw most of the requests that
are being swapped out AFS requests, or local disk requests?  If they
are AFS requests, is there something we can do to get them answered
faster (are we bound on afsd's, and could add more)?  If it's the
latter, then all we are doing is wasting time by doing the swapping,
and what we really need is more physical RAM.  I guess my question is
do we actually have any idea why we're losing?

getting disk in units smaller than 1G is hard these days.  I think the
only externals we have that are <1G are RZ55's, which I suspect won't
work on non-DEC products.
