This is totally subjective, but it doesn't seem like the normal kernel
implementation attempts to shrink only until it fits in the available
swap space.  It seems to try to shrink as much as it possibly can and
then goes and applies whatever it's left with to swap space.  So
adding more swap space doesn't seem likely to shorten the "shrinking"
cycle.  Am I wrong?
