On my laptop, a Lenovo X200T with Core(TM)2 Duo CPU U9300; 6 GiB RAM,

minutes. In all fairness, I don't know why my system froze, as I couldn't
get anything over netconsole and sysrq wasn't working, but I think I'm
going to leave it disabled. Swap on disk is more than fast enough for
buffer/cache and hibernation/resume on my system.
I don't know why you had problems with it, but it's working on fine on
every system I've tried it on. It's not increasing my CPU usage. It's
probably actually lower due to less swap thrashing.
There wasn't any thrashing to begin with. I'm currently using 8.0Mi of my 8
GiB of swap. This is most likely the case for most casual users, those not
compiling complex software on their system. This is with Firefox,
Konversation, KMail, virt-manager and a few Konsole sessions open.
Great, then it probably wouldn't benefit you, but it also would not harm
you at all either. In my case, my laptop was constantly thrashing the
swap and now it isn't, so I'm very happy about it.
