Going off piste to linux-mm.org, I found this:

http://linux-mm.org/Drop_Caches

This is exactly what I was thinking should be done automatically. I went from 66% cache and not being able to run programs, to 5% cache and being able to carry on.

The bug is that this doesn't happen automatically, and hasn't ever AFAICR.
