I've measured swap use and found that not to be the case.  If you have a 
system that uses swap more than the ones I measured then you should just buy 
more RAM.  My main workstation has 4G of RAM because of a lack of DIMM 
sockets.  My wife's workstation/server has 8G of RAM because that performs 
well enough and I didn't feel a need to buy any more - I can upgrade it to 16G 
if I feel like it but it's generally been performing well with 8G.

Swap is where you need performance the most, putting it on a slower device 
isn't a good idea.
