The question becomes, how much swap space has been allocated. The general
rule of thumb is 1:1 RAM. My preference is 1.5:1 based on six months future
expectations of RAM. Therefore, if your expectations will be 128MB RAM in
six months, 192MB Swap is my recommendation. This allows a little buffer in
the event of a core dump to not take all of the available resources while
writing the core dump file (my experience be it perceived or not). Please
let me know if I am "out there" on this.
