I'm sorry to say this box doesn't really think any different of it.

Everything that's in the cache before running slrn on a big group seems
to stay there the whole time, making my active slrn-process use swap.

I applied the patch to 2.4.5-ac15, and this was the result:

   procs                      memory    swap          io     system         cpu
 r  b  w   swpd   free   buff  cache  si  so    bi    bo   in    cs  us  sy  id

process idle.

The slrn-test I use is to open a very big group (some 150000 headers)
from local spool. This first reads a lot of headers from disk, building
an impressive 100 Mb size of malloc()ed space in memory, then sorts
these headers.

Good luck,
Jurriaan
