I simply cinched the straps as tight as I could get them (used pliers on the second strap but not to the point of stretching the leather -- have used pliers often with saddle loops, too). I don't seen any strain that the straps would not also have with saddle loops: the straps are twisted but not in any way that ought to compromise them. I carried ~25 lb home from the store the other day (the equivalent of a full paper grocery sack plus 3 bottles of wine).
When I say "no sway" I mean "beyond what the design of the bag implies" -- ie, no worse than with saddle loops.
