Lion's Shitty Memory Management - or- This Cat is a Dog

Good thing I haven't had to get one of those Intel monstrosities yet. They look like they suck ass. But hey, at least the integer performance is a-ok!

But it seems that Lion is really over-aggressive in its disk caching and pages out based on a FIFO basis. Uh...

WTF

Do current releases of Darwin do this too?

The author of that page didn't even consider disabling Time Machine.
Which should be a good idea anyway, backs-ups are for silly nannies.
