 I have 480MB of RAM, 240MB of zram swap and 1GB of real swap. I don't 
 see any evidence of OOM occurring, surely that would show up as a 
 segfault or some such. I'm also pretty sure I would have noticed if my 
 machine started to swap onto an SD card to the tune of 1GB. As far as I 
 can tell, it never even depleted the zram swap.
