Not really - iirc it appeared with Linux 2.4, which swaps more
aggressively than 2.2. When 2.4 came out, 256 MiB of system memory was
pretty common for small servers.

Swap space can be as large as you want it to be unless you go into
situation where more than physical memory amount is needed for running
programs (or rather for pages these programs need continously or how-
they're-called). If this happens and your system becomes unresponsive,
this is really an oom-killer issue (it should act faster and choose
victims more wisely), decreasing swap space to "help" oom-killer act
fast is really not a solution, but a dirty hack.
