Quoting Steve Bergman steve@rueb.com:
When it comes to swap, I'm a big believer that swap is a good thing.
Yes, swap is a good thing. As long as it is used only to swap out never or almost-never used data. On the other hand, if an app needs 1 gig of memory, and it really crunches on that data, relaying on swap to give it 1 gig of space is a bad idea. It'll kill machine.
