[DotGNU]question on pnetlib property

[S11001001]

What is the purpose of System.IO.StringWriter.Encoding {get;}? I can't decipher 
it from AllTypes.

Also, would this question better go on Savannah? Maybe I should've answered 
that one myself...

Besides, its really not worthwhile to use more than two times your physical
ram in swap (except in a select few situations). The performance of the system
becomes so abysmal you'd rather heat pins under your toenails while reciting
Windows95 source code and staring at porn flicks of Bob Dole than actually try
to type something.
