 If it is a matter of swap space, I'd recommend using a USB powered
hard-drive. The rewriting of heavy swap usage will rapidly wear out flash
memory.

 Though the last time I ran a test that used up memory, the Raspbian
variant didn't have a swap file and generated a kernel panic crash when it
was unable to satisfy the request for more heap memory (even though the
benchmark application was coded to exit cleanly if the malloc() call
returned saying no memory was available).
