Nope, it's not swap that's killing it... The program i'm running is a
p2p network simulation; first, it generates a number of nodes, then it
populates the resulting overlay with data, then it queries it. During
the node generation part, memory requirements are in the vicinity of
200-300 MBytes, then they go up as data items get added. However, the
difference in performance shows up even in this first stage: ~1000'' for
FreeBSD, ~210'' for win32, ~220 for linux.
