Yet in an earlier reply you state that your machines have swap
configured.
There is a difference between these two statements:
a) I need some amount of swap configured but don't expect a
significant swap usage under normal load.
b) I expect my server to always be using a significant
amount of swap.
I interpret your views as (a) but I interpret Mike's as "there are
people who are saying that a correctly sized machine can have zero
swap configured."
Having no swap configured and merely using no swap in normal
circumstances are very very different situations.
