I had a production server with 512G memory with 0 swap. It was running some ldap server. Every week, this ldap server needs a restart due to some slownesss. Adding swap has cured it.

512G for an LDAP server?? Surely you mean 512M.

This is fine as long as the tradeoff in performance is acceptable.
