Having swap doesn't mean that it's "intensively" used. If you keep some main RAM free, basically only memory that isn't used is swapped out (making room for active RAM). Flash memories and filesystems also have wear levelling technologies you know. Are you going to put all the mail files on tmpfs too? That will risk mail loss. Is it just a relay? What's the point? I don't know if this setup makes sense, but it's up to you and I think all the SA questions about memory are answered. If you want "less wearing" setup, then it's a whole another question.
