I have 16GB RAM and no swap. I haven't had swap enabled for 4+ years. Only once have I come close to needing it, when I had 2x Win7 instances running in VirtualBox (1x 32bit, 1x64bit) and tried to start a WinXP VM as well, forgetting that I already had 12GB allocated to VM's and Linux was using close to 4GB. Normally, even with Firefox and Chrome running (yes, sometimes both, but usually only 20 or so tabs each), I don't even come close to needing to swap.
IMHO, if you can do it the best cure for slow swap speed is enough RAM that the system doesn't need to swap. Ever. :)
Lucky you. I can't get more RAM. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
