 Do the swap only on Mule? 
That would be the worst possible option.  Mule should bring new
functionality, not cripple XEmacs.  I can already hear people saying,
"Oh, you need larger buffers?  Why, compile without Mule -- everyone
sensible does that."

 You do not really want to do O(n^2) operations on 1 Gbyte buffers
 anyway. 
You don't.  Why do you ask?
