@ Scott James Remnant: this means that Ubuntu will remain almost unusable on systems with low RAM (384 MB and less) and slow on systems with 512 MB RAM. That's a pity.

I respect the decision of the Ubuntu developers. However, maybe you could consider an init script lowering the swappiness, that only activates when RAM is 512 MB or less?
