I don't think there is a danger of running into swap with today's environments, so I wondered about why Sizelimit deals with swap metrics. If you do run into swap with a box with 8 gigs of ram, swap will probably not save you, as you'll be swapping out large processes. I keep my MaxRequestsPerChild low also, but also like to use SizeLimit to cap the maximum process size.
