Some parts may get compressed, but you can't really rely on that.
Also, untim kdump came along, lkcd wrote its crash images to the swap
partition, so on a slightly older system (or a newer one where you've chosen
to use lkcd), again, having swap == RAM is a good idea

Whatever the amount of mem in your system, if you define a swap area
with 1GB or 2GB you should have enough.
Unless you want to suspend to disk, in which case it would be a good idea to
have swap == RAM, since on suspend, the system image gets written to swap.
