I've been told that 90s-era manuals for SAP systems recommended swap size = 2x RAM size. There's a story circulating in the office that someone remembered this rule in 2012-ish when setting up a bunch of fresh systems with 2 TB RAM each, causing the storage support team to wonder why the fresh filer was already full after just a few days.
