:But I have a valid point: can we do something better than posting a SIGKILL
:to the largest process?

We could have the ability to mark processes as being more or less
preferable as kill candidates. I'm not sure I really care anymore,
though... there is so much disk space available now that it is fairly
difficult to run the system out of swap space. I don't think I've
run any of my personal systems out of swap space for at least a year
now! Usually the biggest process is the one responsible (note: MFS
processes do not count, and they are immune from being killed).
