I love swap completely slowing down the process of reaching the threshold to trigger the OOM killer to be invoked (if at all, and hopefully not stuck in the limbo in-between), thrashing my NVMe or SSD with useless activity for several minutes into hours, to sit and watch a system be so dogged down, that you can't even log into a virtual tty without it timing out (all while the kernel is actually responsive to immediately respond to magic SysRq keycombos). It's great.

If you compile your own kernel you can tweak both OOM and "swappiness" behaviour. No I don't have a girlfriend, why do you ask? :p
