Actually, I thought this was a great question that only one person came close 
to answering.  Is there a defined set of tradeoffs when expanding the swap 
size, in relation to RAM, taking into consideration CPU speed and possibly 
other variables that I am not aware of.  If, instead of using the 2X rule for 
sizing a swap partition, we went to a 4X or 6X size, would the paging 
overhead not justify the expanded swap size, in terms of increasing 
performance?
