Hi, this is just a short no-statistics testimony that Rik's VM patch
to test8-pre1 seems much improved over test7. I have a UP P200 with 40Mb,
and previously running KDE2 + mozilla was totally unusable.

With the patch, things run much more smoothly. Interactive feel seems
better, and I don't have "swapping holidays" any more.

Heavily stressing it by g++ is better as well...

just a data point,
john
