hp-ux uses swap partitions as a dump device, something i'd love
to see on linux systems sooner or later.
anyway some swap space may be needed since there are process that allocate
tons of virtual memory, and they don't use it.
if the machine swaps occasionally i think it is acceptable
if i have to use swap i wan't it on a raid device.
