I don't think this is true anymore. It was back when machines had small
amounts of ram. Case in point, I have 16Gbs of ram. If I have a
program that needs more than that, I need a bigger machine anyway.
Since ram has got so large, and cheap, I always make my swap around 1Gb
or so. If something does run away and eat up ram, I got enough swap
that I have time to kill it. I would not make a 32Gb swap partition
tho. That would slow about any machine to a crawl if it starts using
that much.
I think the new method for determining swap is to use what makes sense
and not the old rule of 'twice the ram'.
Hope that helps.
