Not this again, we already went through this a few weeks ago.
Back then, I thought the conclusion was that there is nothing broken about OS X memory management, and that with every 'fix' you come up with, you will just introduce another degenerate corner case. The same holds for any OS, trade-offs are made that may have some negative effect in some cases, to the benefit of the general cases.
I don't recognize any of his symptoms anyway, and my OS X computers get pretty RAM-heavy use, with almost always a linux VM open, XCode, Safari with ~10 tabs, iTunes with a few thousand songs, etc.
Edit:
Just to be sure I read through some of the links he provides that are supposed to explain what is going on and why the fix would be of any help, but nowhere do I see any hard facts that demonstrate what is going on. Only that he 'saw in vm_stat that OS X was swapping out used memory for unused memory'. I'd like to see some actual evidence supporting this statement.
