I have not seen this message with MacOS X, however when MacOS X is adding

MacOS X, so I modified /etc/rc and changed the arguments to dynamic_pager
to
dynamic_pager -H 40000000 -L 576870920 -S 536870912 -F ${swapdir}/swapfile
So now it creates 524MB swap spaces instead on 80MB, and its performance
was much
more predictable.
Yes, this was extremely helpful. I don't have an problem anymore. I wonder
why your modification isn't the default setting?

Glad it helped, did you notice how many swapfiles MacOS X created before
making this modification ?
Default System Configuration is always a compromise, so Apple were going for
the 90%, and more importantly stability for the 90%. Personally, I'd
rather
see a primary swap partition so that any kernel panics can be collected
(option)
with savecore, instead of having to either copy down a screen of info, or
taking
a picture of it. On the dynamic_pager side, it might be better to use real
memory as a factor for its arguments.
