I don't know. I've tried a bunch of setup changes locally here today,
but I couldn't consistently get any better results. So I don't think
r5 is any better here. It could indeed be some rare bug or regression,
but I doubt it. r7 indeed seems pretty stable.

I'm not sure if my machine is too quirky or not. I mean, 6 GB of RAM,
only 4 GB recognized at most (e.g. r7) with others recognizing
different amounts (1.8 GB for r5, 2.6 GB for HDPMI32), oddly enough.
Also not sure exactly why it even says "No swap space!" at all or what
that means exactly. All the things I tried didn't help clarify. I
should probably check r7's sources, but that sounds very
intimidating ....
Feel free to try it, but I don't think you should stress too much over
it. It's heavily confusing (for me, at least).
