Maximum Swap Size

Actually, I thought this was a great question that only one person came close to answering. Is there a defined set of tradeoffs when expanding the swap size, in relation to RAM, taking into consideration CPU speed and possibly other variables that I am not aware of. If, instead of using the 2X rule for sizing a swap partition, we went to a 4X or 6X size, would the paging overhead not justify the expanded swap size, in terms of increasing performance? -- John Sowden American Sentry Systems.
