Hi kernel fellows,

I volunteer. I'll try something tomorrow to compare swappiness of older kernels like 2.6.5 and 2.6.6, which were fine on SGI's Altix tests, up to current newer kernels (on small memory boxes of course).

Hi Marcelo,

Just a suggestion - I'd look at the thrashing control patch first.
I bet that's the cause.
