+ - New DisableAllSwap option. If set to 1, Tor will attempt to lock all
+ current and future memory pages. On supported platforms, this should
+ effectively disable any and all attempts to page out memory. Under the
+ hood, DisableAllSwap uses mlockall() on unix-like platforms. Windows is
+ currently unsupported. We believe that this feature works on modern
+ Gnu/Linux distributions. Mac OS X appears to be broken by design. On
+ reasonable *BSD systems it should also be supported but this is untested.
+ This option requires that you start your Tor as root. If you use
+ DisableAllSwap, please consider using the User option to properly reduce
+ the privileges of your Tor.
