Go back to http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3920319 to see the claim that I disagreed with. There is a lot that can be controlled at the page fault level other than just "use less memory". And having a lot of data in a hash is hardly an uncommon use case if someone's processing, for instance, a log file.
I mean, I know what claim you disagreed with. We just had a conversation spanning 9 hours where we hashed out (heh heh) what I actually meant in that post. I don't want to reset back to that post and start explaining from the beginning because I already typed all those words explaining what I meant.
And I dunno, man, you have big log files. I don't think that processing many-gigabyte log files is what most would call a common case, but I coud be totally wrong here.
