It all depends on what the system is doing. My knowledge of RH is limited (been working with it for about 4 months now), but it would seem that the installer automatically sets up the swap as twice your amount of RAM.
This can be manually configured. For example though, my laptop that is used for WP, email and general network admin tools has 265 MB RAM and 256 MB swap. The most I have ever seen it use of swap is about 6 MB. If I had used the installers default I would be wasting even more HD space. It also comes down to the application you will be using. Does it take advantage of swap and will it work well with the application. For example I have been researching Squid recently for a cache server. Using swap with squid will work, but would seem to actually negatively effect performance.
