The post says: "Indeed, the processes grew from their initial size of 100MB, slowly, all the way up to 1GB before we killed them."

The important part is that they manually killed the processes before they let it start swapping.

Again, they didn't actually have anything bad happen. Bad: processes couldn't get memory. Not bad: I was using 3 GB of memory.
