Yep, that's what they recommend.
Let's select a random node from one of my clusters here. Each node has 3sGb of RAM, and runs linux.
Top output:
Mem: 33285824k total, 28389184k used, [...]
Swap: 30736352k total, 50592k used, [...]
So you can see that even with 32Gb of RAM, a node in an 8-node cluster is not swapping even close to 1Gb). That's a LOT of wasted disk space.
