Nice try, but 2.4.17-rmap-11a doesn't have all Rik's fixes either
(rmap-11b is available, but I don't feel like running a new kernel
every few days).
I've been running a couple of 2.4.17-pre kernels on my laptop (which is
my primary machine), but each time they made me switch back to good old
2.4.13-ac5 simply because its VM (read: Rik's VM) was much smoother.
It's not that I think Andrea's VM is bad, it's just that a VM should be
tuned for the common cases, not for the power users that want to
squeeze every last drop out of it. It's fine with me if somebody wants
to design a VM for the niche XYZ, but do that as a separate patch and
don't clutter up the mainline kernel with it.
