Well, considering disks are really cheap, better have too much swap
in the beginning than having to fiddle with vnconfig and friends later
when the first processes have been killed with "out of swap space".
The increased amount of memory used by pagetables when more VM is
managed should be relatively negligible aswell, especially with today's
memory sizes and the i386's ability to swap most pagetables out (dunno
if NetBSD makes use of that in a low mem condition.)
