I find lots my xterms getting swapped out on my office desktop.  It's only
(!) got 128MB of RAM, and I routinely have two or three dozen xterms
running locally, plus a like number from remote machines, plus an instance
of the X server and Netscape.  It only takes a couple seconds to swap in one
of the xterms when I start to use it again, and I often don't notice,
because I have to move my hand from the mouse back to hte keyboard.  I'm
probably not a typical user, of course.
