The general guideline is 4x physical memory, but in my experience, its
usually best to go a little higher than that. That 48meg swapfile I
had on the 16MB 486 was sort of silly when I upgraded to 64MB of
physical memory (yeah I know linux adds them unlike many other unixes,
but it still seems silly)
