 @ Scott James Remnant: this means that Ubuntu will remain almost
 unusable on systems with low RAM (384 MB and less) and slow on systems
 with 512 MB RAM. That's a pity.
 
 I respect the decision of the Ubuntu developers. However, maybe you
 could consider an init script lowering the swappiness, that only
 activates when RAM is 512 MB or less?
 
Again, this would be better done in kernel code.

I'm not objecting to adjusting the swappiness value - I'm simply stating
that this is a kernel issue and should be fixed in the kernel code.

 @ Scott James Remnant: does this mean that you've asked the kernel team
 to look into this matter? That would be great. Thanks.
 
 Can you provide us with a link to your conversation with the kernel team
 on this issue?
 
I have had no conversation with the kernel team.

 Well, why haven't you Scott? This is a serious issue and really needs to
 be fixed in time for 10.04 Final.
 
Because that's not my job? :)
