APKs are so goddamn huge and the OS can't swap parts of them out of memory because it's conpressed data and that would exponentially increase cache misses.

    I guess it depends on the specific apps we use. Some can be pretty massive, but I have heaps of APKs that are <30MB, and even several that are <1MB.

    Maybe a couple of large enough apps could be the issue if you always have them open, or if they are running services on your phone.
