I have 16GBs here and it uses swap more than I like.  I set swapiness to
like 10, 5 or some really low number and it still runs low and has to
use it.  It's usually during updates too.  If LOo and a web browser like
Seamonkey or Firefox updates at the same time, it gets ugly, quick.  I'm
wanting to upgrade to 32GBs now.  I suspect before long, that won't be
enough either.  Then comes a new mobo, new ram, new CPU etc etc.  Oh
crap, new install, bad wiki.  o_O 

Even if I upgrade to 32GBs, I'd still have swap.  It may only be a few
GBs but I'll still have some.
