Resending from my UChicago account, as my previous email from 
Northwestern bounced.

Although, I don't know if we understand the Swift limits all that well. 
We never managed to do a systematic performance evaluation of Swift 
(with the exception of the initial 2007 results from the SWF07 paper), 
or at least I am not aware of it. Perhaps this is a good excuse to do 
such a performance evaluation.
