Well, OK, fair enough.  My answer was intentionally a bit flip.

Still, with 512 MB of RAM going for $30, someone who can't afford enough RAM for a typical desktop system probably has more pressing concerns than spending time tinkering with Linux to try to wring out the last bit of performance. They're probably busy struggling to keep food on the table. For people with higher incomes, the time they'd spend figuring it out is worth more than the cost of buying RAM to eliminate the problem.
