I’m old enough to remember that my swap drives used to be on spinning drives that were slower than my gigabit fiber.

be me

the year is 2023

have a spinning drive and no gigabit fiber. ( gigabit fiber doesn't exist where i live )

become sad.

Joke aside, i don't think swap is worth it because i think nobody is willing to have their computer locked for tens of hours or even days for something to finish considering it's literally impossible to know if the app is working or is hung ( search the halting problem for more info).
