"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character is an edited collection of reminiscences by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.

There is program daemon.bin.
Let's create temporary swap file ( 1 Gb ):
% dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.swap bs=1m count=1000
Launch:
% cpulimit -l 10 ram2swap -f tmp.swap daemon.bin
Instead of RAM usage o...
Wouldn't it be simpler to have the root filesystem unencrypted and just delay mounting the encrypted /home till after the OS is up?
As Shog said, you're pretty spot on with your observations.
