Ever since Ram sizes got to about 256M, I've tended toward using swap spaces
about half my RAM size -- thinking of swap as an 'overflow' place that
really shouldn't get used much if at all. As you mention, not reclaiming
swap space, but having 'double-reservations' for previously swapped
programs becomes a problem fast in this situation. Makes the swap
much less flexible.
