-r is 3
-m set to 10 - 1.6 GB however it goes significantly below this level (about 700
MB) and system become unresponsive.

if I do not want to swap at all, set -s to 0 or to 100?

What happened to Linux?! In 2.x versions swap works perfect unloaded
applications to swap and put them back immediately like a charm. Now forced to
kill an app and restart it or even reboot PC to have it back. What is wrong
here? Any way to fix?
