My take is that partitions are better, but not substantially so. When
laying out my filesystems, I typically look at the max memory the
motherboard can accept, double it, and then use that as the size of the
swap partition. That way I never have to worry about resizing it. Disk
space it fairly cheap, so no big loss...
