I've been trying this. Problem is that swapoff command moves stuff from swap
to RAM (nicely seen in conky's graphs, btw), which obviously can't take
whole swap contents and when RAM capacity is reached, swapoff simply
crashes. I am not an expert, but when something related with system memory
crashes, I don't feel very good about it. :)
