How much swap space is really needed for successful "suspend to disk"?

How much swap space is really needed for successful "suspend to disk"?
Is it 1.5x the_size_of_RAM or 1x the_size_of_RAM?
I sort of understand the logic behind the "equal to the size of RAM" and why "suspend to disk" may fail with less swap, but I'm still doubtful about the more(?) widely accepted rule of swap size needed to be 1.5 x the size of RAM.
Please explain!
