 Oh no. In fact during the installation the swap space was created with 
 an identical size. I just ran through an AMD64 installation and it 
 likewise created the swap the same size as the physically allocated RAM. 
 If it should be twice the physical RAM then that portion is not working. 
 I am only able to test this on i386 and amd64. I can confirm the same 
 behavior on both architectures.
