Yah, you might save 1% of a processor if you ever swap at 1000 per second or something like that - never bothered to measure it, just know that the cost of swap to vdisk is cheap, fast, and easy to set up, and everybody does it that way for those reasons. Just because you CAN swap to dcss does not mean you should. The only value to dcss has been conjecture, no proof.
