SubjectRe: Let's talk about the elephant in the room - the Linux kernel's inability to gracefully handle low memory pressure
Date
Sorry, I don't have the original message to reply to.. But to those
interested, I have found a solution to the kernel's complete inability
to allocate more memory when it needs to swap out.

Increase the /proc/sys/vm/watermark_scale_factor from the default 10 to 500

It will make a huge difference, especially with swap on SSD, the kernel
will swap out gracefully to allocate more memory, and you can get a few
GB more memory in use before really noticing performance problems.
