heh, try using Windows when it goes into swap, Windows both desktop and server additions have the worst memory management I've ever seen and having no ZRAM and a pig of a filesystem like NTFS really doesn't help either.
Going into swap in Linux isn't a problem, it's a symtom of a misconfigured / provisioned server or an unhanled application memory leak, other than that the other only things that should cause it is incorrectly configured use of shared / reserved memory.
Disk based swap should pretty much always be disabled these days and ZRAM used to incresed efficiency.

On the PC I am on at the moment with 100+ Chrome tabs open, I have 1.3GB compressed out of a total of 16GB.

- Amezarak 10y agoIncidentally, at least on Windows, you can save a ton of harddrive space by changing your swap settings - the default is crazy high, especially if you have lots of RAM.
