..from the 'man niceload' 'OPTIONS' section:

  --noswap
       -N  No swapping. If the system is swapping both in and out
           it is a good indication that the system is memory stressed.


           --noswap is over limit if the system is swapping both
                in and out.


           --noswap will set both --start-noswap and run-noswap.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
