Yes on a 512MB system it's a great win ... on a 64 system I see something like a ``swapping weasel'' under high load.
It seems that page ageing or something *similar* would be nice for a factor 512/64 >= 2 ... under high load and not enough memory it's maybe better if we could get the processes in turn into work instead of useless swapping (this was a side effect of page ageing due to the implicit slow down).
