Should I be setting up a swap partition while booting off a CF card?

158 100+
I am running Debian on a PC Engine Alix board booting off of a 4gb CF card.

Should I be setting up a swap partition while booting off a CF card.

Im asking because ive heard this is bad for cf cards because it increase read/writes to the cf card by quite a bit.

What is peoples thoughts about this?
