I'm processing a large set of photos and, due to the need for 3D rendering, I can't use split-merge. I have insufficient RAM for processing, but I do have swap space on an NVMe SSD. How many times can I increase the swap space relative to the RAM without significantly impacting performance? 2x, 3x? Has anyone done a test like this that could determine the limit using best practices?
Best answer
You can safely allocate 2x; there's only two/three parts that are big memory bottlenecks. Texturing, dense point fusion and orthophoto rendering (so if you have 64GB RAM, 128GB swap). Swap will most likely only be touched when doing these three operations.

Thanks!
