That's not the only reason.
It's also improves swap performance, because pages swapped in will still be
in the swap partition, so if they get swapped out again, they don't have to
be written to disk because they are still there.
Which means if you want to have x megs swap and your physical mem is y megs,
the swap partition should be at least x+y megs.
