[Users] Use vSWAP without Swap?

[Alexey Zilber]

Hi Henry,

   Could you provide the output of vmstat 5 5?
  vSwap has absolutely nothing to do with the swap on the host.   Think of
vSwap as slow burst ram.  If all your containers decide to hit vSwap at the
same time though, the host may start using REAL swap.  Try setting
swappiness to 1 (I don't recommend 0 as there were bugs in the past related
to that).
