Ram has a seek time of 0 ns and an access time of 9 ns

Disk has a seek time of 10,000 ns and an access time of 8,000 to 50,000 ns

Do you really want to use disk in place of ram?  It's not a pretty sight.

Figure a slowdown factor of at least 2000, probably more.

If your swap file is active, you need more ram.

If your swap file is too small to load a program, you need more ram, not more
swap file.

Someone sold you a computer with 112 MB ram?
That wasn't very nice.
Go buy some more.
512 MB will be less than 100$
