Having TOO much swap space can be a detriment and not an asset. Usually, the rule of thumb I go by is allocate about 2x the amount of physical memory installed on the system; for machines with < 1M. This number will need to approach more or less 1x for machines with 1-2M. With machines with > 2M; I'm not sure swap space will make much of a difference, unless you rely on X heavily.

I have never head of a problem of having too much swap space. What kind of problems does it cause? I know you get system slowdown if you are doing too much swapping, but that is a different problem from having too much swap space.
