Force process to swap?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Is there a way to tell kswapd that i wan't a particular process to get
shoved into swap?

I run a torrent client 24/7 (in many ways it would just be easier to
mirror a whole bunch of distro iso's, but oh well)..

Anyway, it tends to consume between 30 and 50% of my system's physical
memory, which wouldn't matter, except that it tends to push firefoxen
into swap, while nearly always staying in memory itself.

I can probably alter the torrent clients settings a bit to reign it in,
but honestly, the disk with my swap partition is pretty quick, and i
would think totally adequate to let it download/upload files from.

Is there some way of forcing this?

Cheers
