I'm running with almost 14GB of swap space now instead of 32MB.

(Resizing things went smooth but was quite a lengthy manual process.
When you've got LUKS and LVM and ext3 all in the mix you also
have to do a lot of units conversions: 512 B/sector, 1024 B/kB,
4096 B/block, 32MB/LE ...)

I'll run it for a few days and report back if this worked or not.
