Because the app has a habit of slurping so much memory that the host
system spends all its time swapping, which happens to be even slower
than usual on this machine. Last time this happened, it took me
almost 10 minutes just to type the commands to shut down the
VServer.
What I want is that no matter what the host system has some RAM left
to perform a shutdown in case the VServer runs away with itself, but
at the same time I'd like the VServer to be able to use swap if
reasonable.
