When *~ and .*.swp will be written ?

Hi,

I am running vim (also) on a Gentoo Linux on this little thing of
board:
http://www.acmesystems.it/arietta

Since there is no harddisc but only a sdcard -- and flash memeory has
a limited amount of write cycles -- I want to eliminated unneccary
writes to the sdcard.

One source of unessary writes are -- in some cases -- the backup-
and swap-files vim generates.

When will these types of file be open while starting vim?

Or in other words:
Is it early enough to do a :set noswapfile | set nobackup right
after loading an existing file (which is more then 0 bytes long)
to prevent creating of any additional file?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc
