[ale] more memory, bigger swap?

[geof at denali.is.net (Unix Guru Dude)]

I've always heard that you're swap should be 2x your memory.  This has
never really made sense to me, because I would figure you would need
more swap with less memory, and less swap with more memory.  Well I just
broke down and swapped out a couple of whimpy 4 meg chips with a couple of
16 meg chips.  This pushes me up to 40 meg.  I don't see any sense in
adding more swap, say up to 80 meg?  Someone straighten me out....
