Other Swap space config questions

Hello,

I have a couple more questions concerning swap configuration.

a) What are the benefits of swap over-commitment mode ?
b) What are the disadvantages of the immadiate mode ?
c) Suppose I have 2 swap partitions, am I right to say that if I put 2
entries in the /etc/fstab file, the next time the machine boots, it will use
both partitions ?
d) Is it true to say that if I use immediate mode and I have two swap
partitions (ex.: /dev/rz0b and /dev/rze10b), I can only have a single link
/sbin/swapdefault pointing to /dev/rz0b and the swap mode will be immediate
on the 2 partitions ?

                                Thanks !
