Mr. Ragusa,
Thank you very much for that suggestion.
Now I have a new topic to add to my bucket-list of things to have a better grasp of.
I am still trying to decide if I need a swap file or how small can it be, and or if I need a swap partition.
All of that is currently over my brain capacity.
I have 32 GB of fast RAM and play FreeCell pretty intensively LOL !

A better suggestion would be to not use such a huge units of measurements
use "free --mebi"
