It is kind of interesting, but I never noticed much difference from the default value (thats 60, by the way) until I set swappiness to 0. The difference between 10 and 60 is barely noticeable, tho. You are right on that regard.
I have 768MB on my laptop, and I really use it. Meaning spamd, mysql, firefox, openoffice and some nuts and bolts.
I have a ton of stuff running too, I just never seem to fill up memory.
I'll have to give it a shot with setting it at 0 once. Like you said, I tried it at 10 and 80, figuring that it wouldn't be much more different from 0 to 10. 80 was the last setting I had it on, I must never have put 60 to default.
