Personally, I think your swap is too big but this depends on the amount of RAM you have and what the computer will be used for. I have always used 250 MB and that has always been enough.
"Some of you may not really care about swap. After all, Linux systems are typically very memory efficient, and swap is often barely touched. While often true on desktop systems, servers are another story." - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-swaptip2.html just a thought.
