It's probably going to work an order of magnitude better thanks
especially to the lower_zone_reserve algorithm.
However I'd still recommend to use my tree, the last two critical bits
you need from my tree are inode-highmem and related_bhs. Those two are
still missing, and you probably need them with 12G.
I'm going to release a 2.4.23aa1 btw, that will be the last 2.4-aa.
