[ale] Q: Should Linux swap space depend on number of users?

[johnmills at speakeasy.net (John Mills)]

Usage Gurus -

Is swap space shared between users? If so, should one allow more swap when
expecting to support a number of users compared to only one or two at a
time? I suppose it doesn't scale simply with user count because a _lot_ of
processes run the same number of instances regardless of the number of
users, but should there be some allowance?

TIA for any comments.
