SSD is pretty damn fast compared to HDD, but compared to physical main 
memory it's still sluggishly slow. It also doesn't help at all that to 
access even a single byte of swap memory the operating system needs to 
retrieve the entire corresponding page (4 kB) from the storage medium to 
main memory.

As far as POV-Ray is concerned, the only substitute for genuine physical 
main memory is genuine physical main memory.
