I am in full agreement there... It's easy to see that applications do not swap out overnight; but i'm having difficulty trying to find a way to demonstrate the other part. I guess timing the "linking the kernel with full debug" on a low memory box is measurable.

I should have said - finding a swappiness that ensures not swapping out applications with updatedb, then using that same swappiness value to do the linking test.
