I thought it a bit strange myself. The new 2.4 kernels recommend a
minimum of 510mb of swap, & I have also heard of the twice as much swap
as physical. So far I have been using that rule of thumb on most of our
machines, but have left the RaQ's alone.
Maybe someone from Sun/Cobalt will shed some light on this.
I do not remember reading a reason why in their documentation, other
than how much.
