I think discussing it in a vacuum is pointless, it should depend on how much memory you have. You can have a swap on, but with a low `vm.swappiness` number.

The point is that disabling swap does not prevent page eviction. Instead of swap, this discussion should be about the page cache.

		Surely as long as it is all in memory these pauses are not going to be that significant, details like that should be left for the language devs to optimize. You can tell an average Golang user to use mutexes, you shouldn't be telling them to lock memory manually.
