Public bug reported:

After I upgrade my laptop from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, it became
extremely slow. With physical memory of 1GB, it starting swapping when
free - buffers/cached > 400MB, which i thanked is to blame. It means
when I launch a web browser and an e-mail client, it starts swapping.
After several hours' running, the data swapped out will reach 300MB+ and
meanwhile free - buffers/cached is only 400MB. When I was using Ubuntu
11.04 before, swapping would never start unless free - buffers/cached >
800MB. Now I can only disable swapping to make my system usable, but the
temporary solution will make my system unstable.
