another example: seeding in bittorrent, if memory is big enough and

Also, depending on RAM size, even if you think everything can be
done in
memory only, a lot of processes might be using swap space or may be
writing cache or log files to the disc.
Also, Linux is very aggressive about swapping out idle pages. (Some
would even say too aggressive.) Even if you have what you think is
plenty of RAM, it's quite likely Linux will swap out some stuff in
order to make more room for the disk cache.
