Fairly sure, I've been suffering with this on 10.7 and 10.8 on different machines. Some more info here: http://workstuff.tumblr.com/post/20464780085/something

  I second this. It's a big enough issue for me that if Mavericks doesn't fix it, I'll be switching back to Linux.

  On my previous '09 MBP with a 5400rpm drive disabling the pager meant it went from a really slow crappy experience to amazingly fast. I had periodic hangs when I used too much memory, but I would put up with those to have general performance not suck. I eventually bought a 2012 Air (got sick of carting a 17" laptop around) and so haven't seen any issues (yay for ssd!). Looking forward to seeing if this is fixed - I've always found page management decisions made by OSX to be less awesome than linux.
