Bug#245465: use swap size, not RAM
What if we looked at the size of available swap rather than RAM?
People don't really expect to have their actual memory eaten by something
that appears to be a disk filesystem (and used to be one). I'd say that
eating some of swap space would be less surprising.
In other words: a machine with 64MB RAM + swap will want to use tmpfs (much
faster than a regular filesystem), but one with 1-2GB and no swap probably
won't.
