a big advantage of 32-bit executables is they die with allocation failure instead of sending a machine into swapping hell change my mind
I don't, but would with mobile/laptop if the design & latency around hibernation weren't so bad. It should take at most 200ms to come out of hibernation, and a few sec to go in, and be safe/reliable.

For desktop/server I don't even have UPS monitoring, just massive LA batt and DC-DC psu so that time on batt is practically unlimited.
-
Yeah at my new place I'm putting in half a rack of UPS. It should give me ~8 hours of run time for most of my stuff, enough to coast through an overnight power outage w/o waking up neighbors with generator noise.

"Practically unlimited" is of course easier when your cpu's TDP is 8.5W. ;-)

200 ms to read 16 GB from disk??? That's 640 Gbps / 80 GB/s read bandwidth... what kind of bus is your SSD hanging off? Sure isn't SATA or even PCIe 4.0 x16...
-
No need to read 16 GB from disk; you have demand paging. Just need to read the code that's currently running, i.e. a few kB or MB at most.
-
So now your system wakes up instantly but every time you alt-tab it freezes for 10 seconds? That's the single biggest reason I dislike swap. Every time I switch to a new app things hang.
-
Only if your apps are awful bloatware. 10s would be several GB at least given a decent SSD.
