I'm going to be different from most. I don't believe in using swap at all. I have my swap starting equal to my ram and as i go up i REDUCE the swap. My vm.swappiness is always set to zero as swapping to disk is many times slower than keeping it in ram.

It makes sense not to continue to increase swap as RAM increases,
that's true. But for "small" RAM machines, swap makes a lot of
sense, I trow. Virtual is slow, but it beats not being able to
run apps at all.

I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
