Personally, I think that advice needs updating for machines with large amounts
of memory to include an upper bound. In general use I'm not sure I can see
going above 8Gbytes of swap, and certainly with 96Gbytes of RAM, I'm not about
to allocate a considerable chunck of disk to either doing nothing for the
lifetime of the machine, or more likely every now and then created a long
grinding death due to runaway memory consumption where it would have simply
gone swiftly pop otherwise.
