Ironically if you have a laptop that hibernates to swap, and you want kernel core dumps when hibernate fails, then the "swap rule" may be about right. On the other hand you'd be mad to run like that in the normal course of events, and I vaguely recall there is almost no penalty for filesystem swap any more. My first real Unix box used real memory, none of this messing about with virtual memory, it was faster that way.
