I suspect one problem could be that an HPC job scheduling program does not know exactly how much memory each job can take, so it can sometimes end up making a mistake and overcommitting the memory on one HPC node. In that case the user is better off having that job killed and restarted elsewhere, than having all of the jobs on that node crawl to a halt due to swapping.
