Not everyone runs UML on a host with very large RAM. If you run many UMLs you could run out of main memory if you assign large amounts of memory to each of them. Then the host starts swapping, which affects every UML, not only those, which consume much of the memory. I give 64 MB to every UML on my host (512 MB) and only those consuming more have to swap (what happens seldom).
