--- Comment #7 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to rozhuk.im from comment #6)
Your test program is dirtying pages by writing to them, so the OS is forced=
 to
flush them to disk before they can be reused.  It is easy to dirty pages mo=
re
quickly than they can be written back and freed, in which case the system w=
ill
continually be starved for free pages.  Currently I don't believe we have a=
ny
mechanism to restrict the amount of dirty memory mapped into a given proces=
s.

Regarding kernel dumps, if you have space on a raw partition, you can simply
point dumpon(8) at that.  If not, you might consider using netdump(4).
