I've heard the "no swap" argument before, but can you explain this a little further?
It seems like there are two potential situations here:
1/ You have swap, you hit swap. Massive slowdown.
2/ You don't have swap, run out of memory and processes die.
#1 is not a good situation, but it seems preferable to #2 doesn't it?
