This makes the memory discs swap-backed instead of malloc-backed. A swap-backed memory disc should not be worse than a malloc-backed one in any scenario because it will start touching swap only when needed. OTOH, a malloc-backed disc can starve limited kernel resources and evenually crash the system. Reflect the change in the rc.conf(5) manpage. Also stop telling lies there about softupdates: it does not waste disc space, it just can delay its freeing.
