I'd be interested to hear any current use cases where swap delivers a

I need swap to build openoffice/libreoffice, my 8GB of RAM are not
sufficient all the time for the tmpfs of /var/tmp/portage when building
that.
But aside of

Maybe I should have bought 4G instead of 2G, so I'd have 10G, not 8G.

Hi there!
I still wonder why my KDE4 system starts swapping so early. Until a week
ago, I had 6G of RAM, but after a day of being logged in, I usually had some
swap usage. Sometimes this goes up to 1.5G, this is when the system becomes
way too slow and I log out.

When I move the swap to a slow SD card instead (2MB/sec transfer

But every time I use my Acer netbook (8G SSD) I curse and swear and commit
