On Linux, I spill over into virtual memory all the time. Linux also seems to be much worse at switching data in and out of virtual memory. I have no idea what's causing this, but I've definitely noticed it.

That would be because Linux is written to use your RAM as to the max. It will keep as much in your RAM as possible. Which is sort of good, considering you probably bought it to use it :-).
