Dirty means 'might need writing to disk or swap'.
This takes more work to free. Examples might be files that have not
been written to yet. They aren't written to memory too soon in order to
keep the I/O down. For instance, if you're writing logs, it might be
better to wait until you have a complete log ready before sending it
to disk.
