Performance is generally pretty good. The room for improvement is
probably to do fragmentation faster and without causing deadlocks
in the memory managment. 8k NFS will cause lockup a 4-8MB machine
as soon as the machine in under any combined NFS and memory load.
Right. I've found that playing around with the min_free_pages value
and similar can help avoid these situations.
