Have you tested it? > Have you even heard of someone else testing it that ran into that? Yes, I have tested it. With Swap on ZRAM, it's precisely as I described. With no swap it's like that, and with swap of equal size, it's at 300 MiB free and only an eight of a gigabyte left. That's what this software does. Its entire purpose is to kill software based on memory criteria. -- John M.
