I think it is generally a good idea to try and have as much swap as ram for 
hibernate.

That said, on my laptop I have 1.25 G ram with 1G swap (originally I had 512M 
ram but upgrade a year back, and didn't increase the swap size as I cannot 
easily repartition) . However, I have never run into problems with 
hibernation failing because of this - most of the time hibernation only uses 
200-400M, a small fraction of the available 1G swap.
