The old "swap size = 2x RAM" rule is no longer applicable unless you have a very special application.

This "rule" always seemed counterintuitive to me anyway.

When you have very limited physical RAM you need a lot of swap space. When you have more than enough RAM you don't need any swap space at all. For a given set of applications, as RAM increases you need less swap space, not more. And vice versa.
