I don't have any real detail, but I did play with this a bit when I was
getting some slow laptops to work.

I set the swappiness to 20, and it makes a world of difference to the
responsiveness of the system. Older laptops are especially susceptible to
over-aggressive swapping because the disk I/O is often so slow...

20 is now my standard setup for anything where I expect disk latency to be
an issue. I've been very pleased with the results, but I have no idea if
they're optimal.
