I thought the contents of RAM were written to swap. Now this is something I wanted to ask as well, as I didn't find anything really describing what needs to be done for large (not really so this days, 32 and higher) RAM systems -- I have a system with 64GB RAM and adding a 64GB swap partition makes system unhappy (I don't remember the exact message).
