One thing that might help is to use zram, if the system is not already using it.
$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/dm-5 partition 6709244 14884 -1
/dev/zram0 partition 927576 146572 5
/dev/zram1 partition 927576 145996 5
/dev/zram2 partition 927576 145768 5
/dev/zram3 partition 927576 145972 5
That means I have one swap partition on disk (dm-5) and four "swap partitions"
on RAM (it's basically compressing RAM memory on the fly). Swap on disk is only
used when "swap on RAM" is exhausted.
Many Linux distributions will install the zram module by default, but not all
of them. If /proc/swaps doesn't include any /dev/zram devices, it may be a
good idea to enable it.
