This is a very good idea, I'll try it. Also, for the record, what seems to happen is swap size growing too much, obtaining the "critical mass". With 128 MB of memory, everything looks clean with 220 MB of swap, but just wait for it to get to 300 MB.. In 'top', every second process is swapping (<apache>) and those degenerated, resource chomping processes start to appear. It seems there is no other way than to add more RAM.
