Not so good usage of swap

What is a little sad about this kind of article is that in fact currently each language with a GC don't use efficiently the RAM because the swap isn't used as it should be: rarely used pages are not swapped out with a GC..

Of course that's a difficult issue to solve as both the kernel and the GCs must be modified, see http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2391
