A rule of thumb is 8GB of RAM?  Is there a more precise calculation,
something akin to the "10Mhz of CPU cycles for every 1 MB of data that is
flowing across the server"?  We have a 2GB Sun V40z, and even at peak load I
do not think swap file has ever been used.  I'd love to state the case that
it is not enough :)
