what if if you increase your RAM after installing the system?

  It's a circular argument that people get into because they have the incorrect kernel settings. Even if you have 4TB of ram, someone will say to add more memory on disk. It just means the system is not configured correctly. I have 30k servers and not a single one of them has swap.

    >I have 30k servers and not a single one of them has swap. Physical? VM? Cloud? I've never seen an environment with more than a couple carefully-tuned machines that didn't run swap on every last one

      30k physical servers. 512GB to 1TB ram each.

          Not a public cloud. It does involve some private cloud visualization and containers.
