Rik,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

The URL you noted was most helpful in how the VM Tuneable parameters
can be set with the AC7 patch.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I sense the respective patches were not
implemented until 2.4.9-ac4, or were they implemented once before in
the noted 2.4.8-ac7 patch and I just did not understand the details
of the changes?

Follow up question re "A patch against kernel 2.4.8-ac7 has been
created which allows you to play with page aging strategies as well
as setting a static inactive target and switch drop_behind on and
off. The page aging strategies are:"

Where is the "static inactive target and switch drop_behind on and
off" items explained, and how are these set?
