Just so I understand the swap fragment: If the swap fragment is N,
then at swap time, DGD will swap out 100/N percent of the objects
in memory? A swap fragment of 10 swaps out 100/10 = 10%, and a swap
fragment of 2048 presumably swaps out 100/2048 = 0.5% of the objects
in memory? Subject to the same caveats about this being a somewhat
simplified discussion, and so forth.
