With swappiness = 0: You can have a whole bunch of apps started, a bunch
of xtrem with scripts I am working on in one pane, some spreadsheet I
update once or twice a day in another pane, my email client in a third
one, a couple of browser windows in all of them etc... It does not
matter which one I need NOW, I click on it, and it works. Now compare
this to the workstation my customers impose to me with Windows on it, if
I don't use an apps for more than a few hours, clicking on it when I
need it means that I have to wait for 2 to 5 minutes, the whole machine
is frozen during that time. Worse, if I leave it on over the weekend,
every single apps is swapped out on monday!
I wish I had that luxury.
My desktop has 4GB and won't go any higher. I have a 2GB Windows VM and
it is a quad display. Everything is always swapped.
