Not a bad idea; I'll have to see where I can put one.

But, I thought I read somewhere that one can't use ZFS for swap. Or maybe I 
read this:

I wouldn't bother, just spec the machine with enough RAM so swap's only
real use is as a dump device.  You can always use a swap file if you
have to.

If you compile stuff (like opensolaris), you'll want swap space.
Esp. if you use dmake; 30 parallel C++ compilations can use up a
lot of RAM.
