+<p>Another parameter that can be configured is swappiness, which controls how often swap is used. It goes from 0-100: 0 means swap will not be used until the system runs out of RAM, and 100 means swap will start being used almost immediately. The default is 60, meaning swap will be used at around 60% of RAM usage. </p>
