128 MB is what I'd choose. But the programs are getting hungrier and
hungrier on memory, and while 128 MB would be good now, look into the
future; so, make it 192 MB - just to be safe and sure this swap file
will be good for some time, and add 2-3 M for extras - make the swap
partition some 195-200 MB in size.
