In depth, technical document explaining the "VM" (Virtual Memory) system of FreeBSD. How it works, what swaps and when, etc. Pretty amazing document, all in all, although it isn't exactly clear when it was done and for what version it was written for. Looks like it was written in 2000, so it's kinda old but probably still is accurate.
Design elements of the FreeBSD VM system
You'll certainly need to make sure that swap + memory give you enough room to run something or else, yes, there will be problems. But once you fill memory up that much, everything might just get so darned slow you wouldn't know the difference between crashed and just slow!
