Well, I missed something:

You said:
"This was a very interesting post. Just now I modified sysconf and

boosted swap up to 2x RAM."

But going back and re-reading the thread Bob said:

"For an enterprise quality server where reliability matters I fully
agree.  Yes.  You want twice your ram.  But you also want to set
vm.overcommit_memory=2 for reliability."  

^^that is what I missed. along with everything below that in his email.  I must have accidentally passed it up.

NOW that I read it/re-read it, it all falls into place.

Thanks Bob for the detailed explanation. That has got to be the most complete single source explanation I have read on the subject.
