It's also going to be a matter of probabilities. As the number of jobs/node goes up the average fluctuations (relative to the total memory) will go down like root N, but the maximum will stay constant. Given the number of jobs in the Grid you don't need much probability to have a few nodes somewhere eating into the swap even if the vast majority don't.
