So long I just lowered the default value of h_vmem (assigned when it isn't 
ordered explicit with qsub).
That works in some limited way because many users just overestimate the true 
memory demand of their jobs. 

But the idea with swapping out sounds at least worth to be considered in some 
cases. How do I implement it within the
gridengine?
