Limiting swap usage

Hello,
        I am running a process niced to 20, so that it doesn't interfere
with other stuff. The problem is, when this process wants to swap a lot,
it does, and basically you can't do anything on the machine until it's
done since it's taking over all resources by writing to disk.

Is there a way to limit the amount of swap transfer per second, or
something like that? It happens on an AlphaStation 250 4/266 running DU
3.2C.

TIA, will summarize,
Mariano
