No, just a memory bound behavior. It will eat all memory that you throw on it and one
gigabyte just for starters. After that it will start swapping but some careful
optimization management can avoid that. But if it starts swapping there will be a major
performance hit. And it isn't mission critical so I'm not inclined to take drastic
measures just for that reason. I know that upgrading will cost me much more time and
frustration.
