I'm disappointed to hear this, although it makes sense. A swap file + disc data being read from two separate devices simultaneously (HDD + DVD drive), would be faster than both sets of data being read from the same device (HDD only). However, I had a thought, which posed a question to which I believe some of you folks on the Bungie community might know the answer. Does the H3 swap-file space default to whatever the default storage device is? More accurately, will it write to a memory unit? I assume so, because some 360s don't come with a hard drive, only a memory unit. If my assumption is correct, then could one then load H3 from their HDD, choose the memory unit as the default storage device, and thereby the dilemma is resolved? Is my logic flawed? That would be two separate devices, assuming the 360s processor can request data from both simultaneously, as it does between the ODD and the HDD. And read/write speeds from a solid state memory unit has to be faster than from a DVD...
