Sure, but don't we want this anyway in the long term?

Yes, but this seems a bit "off-topic" to me... but probably I do not understand

No, no. Unless I see something which looks "obviously wrong" to me, I won't argue
with this (or any other) change as long as you and Tetsuo agree on it.

I understand that it is veru easy to blame OOM-killer (and the changes in this
area), but it is not easy to fix this code ;)
