No. Swap's good to have around for when you manage to load up your machine heavily enough to run out of real RAM (for instance, on my machine with 128 MB of RAM, running both VMware and Netscape pretty much requires that swap space :). Second, it's a handly place to stick sleeping processes to get them out of the way of your running processes. I could see not having a swap partition if you have a machine with 256 MB or more of RAM, but that's about it.
