I agree with you... unless you want to hibernate. In which case you need at least the same amount of swap as RAM. But if you actually want to use that swap whilst running, you'd need a bit more. So now you are back to somewhere between 1x and 2x RAM.

Doesn't the user-space hibernate still exist? Didn't that allow hibernate to a file, with compression and everything?
I don't know, I haven't run a Linux laptop in almost a year now since an X.org bug killed my old laptop by overheating it.

tuxonice allows that too. But just because you *can* hibernate to a file
doesn't mean you *must*.
