> [Recommended amount of swap] depends on the desired behaviour of the system, but configuring an amount of 20% of the RAM as swap is usually a good idea.
This sounds like good advice compared to the classic "2x RAM" guideline. Back in the HDD era when we already had around 8GB RAM I started wondering how long it would take to actually fill 16GB of swap in terms of raw write speed.
On the other hand SSDs are fast enough that swap might actually make a low-memory system feel faster.
My current Linux laptop has around the same amount of swap as RAM. Am I mistaken in thinking that suspend-to-disk saves RAM contents on the swap partition?
