Well known but still interesting.

Nowadays I generally don't use any swap at all and find it annoying when distros/Windows create swap anyway. I mean if my 128GB+ or even 32GB of primary memory runs out, is it really going to help to swap 2GB to disk? And any larger swap than that is too slow to be usable.
