Generally that kind of thing isn't so bad though. All the garbage that 
gets paged out never gets paged back in again. Assuming you can page in 
the code to stop the damned thing, once it's been killed the system 
takes a little while to page all the live stuff back in, and then it 
goes back to normal.

Now, when your program is actively *using* several GB of RAM... that's 
not so fun. (!!)
