My long standing rule is swap = 8 x core. This is primarily to accommodate having a large number of PDFs and other processes open at the same time. Many MCU manuals run 1000+ pages. But sometimes I just want to run a ridiculously large problem. Disk space is cheap, so there's no benefit to saving it. In my case 128 GB of HDD costs under $4. It's not worth the nuisance of running out of space.
NB: I am merely commenting on what I do, I am NOT recommending it to others. Make your own decisions based on your needs. I have no desire to revisit the flame wars of the 80's.
