Guest Swapping vs. Host Swapping

$

Since my host is low on physical RAM I unfortunately need to allow swapping. There are two options that I can do:

 

 

  • I could tell the guest's OS to swap, so it will use the virtual disk to swap.

 

 

*I could tell VMware Server's memory manager to allow swapping.

 

 

The question is: What is better for performance?

 

 

I could imagine that it is better to give a VM plenty of virtual RAM, disallow guest-OS's swapping, but enable VMware memory manager's swapping? But is that really the best option?
