Comment Re:will this help with the swap-paralysis problem? (Score 1) 603
I don't think it's as bad as it used to be, but perhaps I have an atypical setup: 4Gb RAM + 1Gb swap on a SSD. When something leaks or I set a wrong param. in a program I use, it usually takes around 1 - 1½ min. for the kernel to do an OOM and restart X, granting me a login screen - I've lost everything I worked on of course.
