Good luck because I'm not likely to entertain such ideas. :-)

It's so that a user cannot generate a stream of 1 byte packets and only
get charged for 1 byte even though he is comsuming much more unswappable

If you want to not have things get accounted this way, you may want to
consider using BSD for example :-)  (actually, I think they do what we do
these days)
