As a whole, TRIM is worthwhile.  However when an SSD is
overprovisioned it provides a lot of benefits.  TRIM-less swap in this
case doesn't.  The PE rate of the worst MLC SSD's at this point is
@3000 AFAIK.  Given those figures and average desktop swap rate at my
estimation, prioritizing write endurance on an SSD is not
beneficial(especially with a SanForce).  If you are swapping
continuously something like ZeusRAM may be required.  There are
probably other solutions available as well as other 3rd party ones.
If you are swapping a lot, the best case is usually to add RAM.
