Yeah. Some of the reasons on that list are debatable

I think swap is useful as a temporary memory overflow area, but that's it. Actually "running relying on swap" is harmful

Items 1 and 2 on the list sound like fiction. Item 4 sounds plausible (same for the Windows 9X series - sigh - where cache and swap would allegedly fight each other)
