quote> RAM exhaustion/swap thrash behaviour is terrible on both.

Generally speaking, this isn't an operating system problem, its a hardware design constraint. Its all about disk access times, vs RAM access times.

When you exhaust your RAM, your access speed is at *least* 10,000 slower.

The best advice? If you are routinely exhausting your RAM, buy more RAM.
