Moving the OS X swap file to a faster drive

Moving the OS X swap file to a faster drive

I have a new Mac Mini that's running the latest version of Snow Leopard. The internal drive is a bit of a slouch. I'd like to move the swap file (or whatever it's called is OS X) to my faster external drive (Firewire 800, permanently connected).

"I found a tool called Xupport that moved the swap file in just two clicks (I downloaded the trial version) - http://www.applicorn.com

A quick restart later and everything is running as before (but hopefully faster - time will tell)."
