After doing stress testing (which has turned out to be stable) I installed
the patches on my workstation and made the same experience. Bad
performance. The system is swapping all the time. The kernel now is
swapping to get memory for the buffer cache. Currently I have about 30MB
allocated by buffers and 20MB swapped out. Moving the mouse pointer leads
to swapping.
