The effect you describe is not something POV-Ray is causing  If your OS is
too stupid to correctly give priority to other processes while one
application requires a lot of swap space, change your OS.  You cannot blame
POV-Ray is your hardware and OS are not up for the scenes you want to
render.  In fact, there is absolutely nothing POV-Ray could do about it
other than refusing to render the scene at all.  Sorry!
