Lots of hard drive real estate.  You start dealing with the law of
diminishing returns when you create a swap file of this size.  Startup and
shutdown time will increase, and every time you run defrag it will take
forever to reposition the swap file unless you delete it before running
defrag.  To boot, I don't think Windows would EVER use this much.  IMHO.
