I have 512 MB of RAM in my Myth box (combined BE/FE, dedicated machine), and
NO paging space allocated. This greatly reduces the amount of paging. ;)

Only problem I've ever had was due to the OpenGL memory leak in MythGallery.
Other than that I've never had any problems with running out of memory.
