I'd guess the most probable reason is to reduce interface stuttering.
- philwelch 17y agoInterface stuttering due to swap is an issue on PC's due to hard drive latency, but would it be as much of an issue with solid state storage?
- rictic 17y agoWell, even assuming that they're using top quality solid state storage, you're going from (at worst) hundreds of nanoseconds per retrieval to (at best) a hundred microseconds per (page) retrieval. Still very significant for some data access patterns.
