スワップパーティションについて完璧なパーティションサイズというものはありません. スワップ領域の目的は、内部メモリ（RAM）が逼迫した際、カーネルにディスク領域を提供するためにあります. A swap space allows for the kernel to move memory pages that are not likely to be accessed soon to disk (swap or page-out), freeing memory. Of course, if that memory is suddenly needed, these pages need to be put back in memory (page-in) which will take a while (as disks are very slow compared to internal memory).
