Well that’s technically correct, but if you’re so dependent on disk cache for system performance that you can’t live without it then you really need to look at doing an upgrade.
When a box swap deaths, it usually struggles to actually fill swap enough to have the kernel still OOM kill it at any point. Generally the massive performance impact of swapping just slows the app down to the point of being useless, along with the entire rest of the box. Disk cache should not be a concern during these abnormal events.
