I say that Linux doesn't seem to handle memory well because my laptop had 8GB RAM (which, frankly, Windows seems to find perfectly adequate for a similar workload). Under Linux the RAM would fill up and then swap space would be used. Then the machine would become largely unresponsive - e.g. taking minutes to switch between windows. So I upgraded the RAM. It now has three times as much (i.e. 24GB)! But even so, RAM has still steadily filled up until reaching the full 24GB. What's more, it's now showing 4.8GB of swap space in use. -- James Harris
