limiting root in usage of system memory or swapfile during execution

Hi ROOT users and developers,
I would like to know if there is an option on restricting root how much memory to use or even better if there is a way to tell ROOT to use a swapfile. I am running analysis code in a compiled macro. During the code execution I build up vector-objects to save those objects later in a root file. I could reorganize my code to run only through parts of the code and save afterwards (and later append to the existing ones) but it would be a lot easier if there would be a way to use a swapfile. I know that this would result in a slower run of the analysis but I think this is okay as a payoff.
Thank you very much in advance
best regards,
