The swappiness setting is irrelevant to this bug, as it is a disk io problem no matter which way you look at it. Yes, if you are swapping, this bug will cause the system to be even slower.

I'm convinced that swap is evil. I just disable my swap, and my system works much better, especially when I get a run-away memory hog process.
