Sometimes the truth is buried within! i.e Arch!
Edit:
The biggest drawback of enabling swap is its lower performance, see section #Performance. Hence, enabling swap is a matter of personal preference: some prefer programs to be killed over enabling swap and others prefer enabling swap and slower system when the physical memory is exhausted.
Note: There is no performance difference between using a swap partition and a contiguous swap file.

It’s probably one of those situations where no one has thought about upgrading that detail in the wiki. Things have changed quite a lot over the years with SSDs.

Remember this!
Nothing but Facts . Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else , and root out everything else . You can only form the mind of reasoning animals upon Facts : nothing else will ever be of any service to you!
