Instead of creating a dedicated swap partition or using a swapfile for Linux, I use Zram swap to create a compressed block device in memory.

Any RAM assigned to it is only used for swapping as-needed (until then, the RAM is still available for use by applications). Performing read/write operations in memory is both a speed boost and reduces wear on SSD drives (at the cost of more CPU-intensive activity).
