Do you setup a SWAP space on your drive?

so... windows does this by default and it's a pain to turn off but I'm curious, does anyone ever setup and or use their SWAP space?

I read a while back that having them on SSD's can actually shorten the lifespan of the drive since they have a limited though still numerous amount of read/write cycles

also that they're pointless on SSD's because... well SSD's.

any thoughts on this?
