You might consider erasing the swap partition when powering off, using for the purpose "/etc/init.d/halt.local". The perfomance while in use will be better, but halting will be much slower.

Define erase. In reality, I suspect, you would have to overwrite it multiple times in order to insure data is no longer retrievable. It all depends on your level of paranoia. -- Until later, Geoffrey
