That's what the numbers I just posted earlier indicate, yes.
If you want to do a memory consumption shootout with SLOB, you need
all the help you can get ;)
OK, so with a 64-bit UP ppc kernel, compiled for size, and without full
size data structures, booting with mem=16M init=/bin/bash.
2.6.22-rc1-mm1 + your fix + my slob patches.
After booting and mounting /proc, SLOB has 1140K free, SLUB has 748K
free.
