So I know that I need hibernation storage space, and I'm happy to give up 8G of disk for that. [Any thoughts on swapon-ing a file as I get ready to hibernate?] And I strongly suspect, given my abusive habits, that I'll end up needing process swap "page out" space even with 8G of RAM, and I don't mind giving up space for that *but* also don't want to give my system too much that can apparently slow it down. I just don't know where to draw the line and how to move it around later...
Some misconception here :-) The system doesn't slow because it is using swap, it slows because it needs more ram, and there isn't. Example: Suppose that the system sends to swap the part of processes that are only used once during initialization. Those parts are never used again. The result is used swap, and more free ram! The machine actually becomes faster. This situation happens when using hibernation: on return some swap remains in use and does not disappear, even if the system normally doesn't swap during usage. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
