This is not true. LRU (Least Recentlt Used) processes are swapped to give
current processes more RAM. Unless you run out of swap space you can
completely ignore the problem.

More relevant to solving the problem is WHY it is happening. Neither 8.04 or
8.10 fat clients do this natively. (mine dont) so something in your setup or
something in the way you are using them is the problem.
Perhaps if you describe your fat client setup and what processes languish ...
