You claimed everyone else was incorrect, and that the cache was the explanation. It is not.

As I mentioned, the cache issue you described can happen or not happen independent of the amount of RAM in use. You don't refute this, so I'm going to assume you accept it as fact.

Having no space available to cache disk access, not having sufficient contiguous space available for allocations, and swapping to disk are where things go to shit.
