Comment (by Erik Schnetter):

 MemSpeed needs to allocate sufficiently much memory to ensure that the
 measurement is not handled by the L3 cache. By default, it allocates 1/4
 of 1 NUMA node worth of memory. There is an option to allocate even more
 memory so that the inter-NUMA memory speed can also be measured.

 If you run one or two instances of MemSpeed simultaneously, there should
 be no swapping. I do this regularly on my laptop.

 It should be possible to limit this further to e.g. at most 10x the last-
 level cache size.
