Yes.
The thing is, that without any swap-space at all you really cut down on
the options the system has. It's not that the kernel _has_ to have
swap-space, but without any swap-space it ends up doing essentially the
same work it does when it _has_ swap-space, but now 90% of it ends up
being wasted.
Another way of saying this it that the remaining 10% of it has to work ten
times as hard to get the same results.
