This just strikes me as absurd beyond belief. If you have
more RAM your tasks won't swap out as much. I've on
occasion set up systems with no swap and they worked just
fine so long as the number of runnning tasks was sized
properly.
Are you talking about main memory or are you talking
about swapping to a solid state memory device that
pretends to be a disk? That at least makes some kind
of sense if it is truly fast memory.
If your system is slow, give it more RAM. Swapping
takes time, no matter what the target store and you
do not want to do it unless you have too little RAM
to start with.
