      5 // MemoryPurger provides static APIs to purge as much memory as possible from
      6 // all processes.  These can be hooked to various signals to try and balance
      7 // memory consumption, speed, page swapping, etc.
      8 //
      9 // This was implemented in an attempt to speed up suspend-to-disk by throwing
     10 // away any cached data that can be recomputed.  Memory use will rapidly
     11 // re-expand after this purge is run.
