But as Dan has pointed out, firefox et al. are probably written in such a way that they reawaken all their dynamic data structures from swap while cleaning up. There's not much one can do from the OS side to prevent this from happening.
indeed. there are no fix for crappy software, usually written in C++.
Yup, that's obviously more complicated: C++ dtors, atexit() handlers, etc. are called at this point. VM itself seems fast enough to clean up the vm space of any process without much swap I/O (but I'm not 100% sure yet).
