a big advantage of 32-bit executables is they die with allocation failure instead of sending a machine into swapping hell change my mind

Do people actually use hibernate? My desktop/server systems are on 24/7 and my laptop gets suspended or shut down when in transit.

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.

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.
