Yes it is.  In fact, it's bloody stupid.

Why give random users using somebody else's box a ready-made
performance killer?  Even _if_ "vm performance under overload
conditions" were "OK," it'd be much worse than if _not_ under overload
conditions.

Basically, you add a new binary whose only purpose is to eat memory,
and you've created yet another annoyance for anyone concerned with
what users do on his or her machine.
