Use GParted to shrink your swap and expand your normal space. You should probably not need more than 4 GiB swap.
There is an advantage to having more swap than RAM: If you use a hibernate feature that works by dumping RAM to swap, having more ensures that it will fit. I doubt you need double, though.
Thanks for reminding me! I need to bump up my swap again and make it permanent (change fstab). 50% more than real memory should do it...
I was just looking at that basically all was running in real memory (with lots of buffer space) with no swap used, and forgot about suspend/hibernate.
