I expect part of the issue here is the various ways in which GnuCash
saves things.  I use sqlite and, I believe, with this GnuCash saves
transactions 'immediately' (i.e. the moment you have entered the data
and tab/exit to somewhere else).  With data in XML I don't think
things are saved as you do them, only at intervals with 'autosave'
and/or when you explicitly save or exit.

I can't see how a large (or not)) swap file comes into things, GnuCash
shouldn't even know if swap is being used or not.  The only thing a
large swap might do is slow things down so that GnuCash takes a while
to exit/save.
