    the vm should be (i.e. is supposed to be) smart enough not to unmap
    anything significant just because of large writes. I'm sure it's not
    swapping anything on my desktop during write flood (and certainly not
    the mouse pointer) but checking with swapoff is certainly a good hint to
    be sure.
