puting swap on fast usb drives (feels good so far)

At work today i got 2 tiny usb sticks fromMS full of MS hardware propganda and priceing. I took them home and plugged them into unused usb ports on my PC and set them as my swap instead of my HD partition. My system usually uses swap when i boot vertual machines, and i get allot of lag and slow down when i do so. But im glad to say its all as smooth as butter now.
Thanks Microsoft the Linux ready boost is great

Well since they were free and already contaminated then I guess flogging them with swap is warranted
