It depends on how much data need to be written to the hard disk (SWAP partitions). Can you imagine the time for accessing 512MB of data from the hard disk?
In general, ordinary user may not have the opportunity to read/write 512MB of data. However, if you do not have enough memory, say only 256MB physical memory but you are using a huge database, e.g. Oracle database; or you are doing video editing; or you need to re-master your own Knoppix LiveCD, it is very likely your system will use up most of the 512MB SWAP space, segments of SWAP will be very noticeable. |
