You're right,
the swap, typically configured, is much more than the amount of the
video memory, but in fact the swap is just a reserv, which ensures continuation
of the normal operations on the machine, at times of peak loads.
In our days the amount of RAM placed in the servers is so much, that
the swap, in fact, is rarely used at all and a very small amount of it (several
MB) is used. In that cases having a very fast swap space in the Video RAM, in
addition to the disk swap, would be a good solution.
If you have a video card with so much excess memory, that you can use it
for swap, then I wonder whether the video card has not been much too
expensive ;-)
How about spending $25 for another Gigabyte of RAM (real RAM, not SWAP)
instead?

Yes indeed :)
