Well, that's stretching things a bit... If anything, RAM is more needed than
ever. The more the merrier!

That's not true. The OS does not report HD space used by VM as free space.
So, in your example, if the Finder reports that there is 1 GB free, there is
actually 1 GB usable. Another 641 MB can be freed up by switching VM off.
