Wow. You completed an install and test in just one hour, installing
from a HTTP public mirror? I envy your fast internet connection.
I was going to suggest that if you do HTTP-install often it might be
useful to create your own mirror, or simply use an install DVD/ISO to
create a HTTP install source. But in your case it seems you don't need
one.

Oh my. And I was under the impression that tap: vs phy: today is the
same as using swapfile vs swap partition in terms of performance. I
guess I need to do some further testing.
Just one clarification though: Are you SURE you previously used non-sparse file?
