Not to introduce machine dependancy, but on Intel max ram is 4GB,
so it seems to me that 8-12GB total space (4-8GB swap) would be an
outside value.  Alphas can have more RAM, although I doubt few do.
Perhaps something like:

max(4Gig, 3 * RAM)

Would be the best calculation.

I pitty the machine with 29 GB swapped, even if it has 4GB of RAM.
