Yeah, about that. I dunno whether you guys saw that but the machine has
8Gb of RAM and shouldn't be swapping, AFAIK. The largest mem usage I
saw was 5Gb used, most of which pagecache. So I was kinda doubtful when
Linus came up with the swapping theory earlier. I'll pay attention to
the SwapCached in /proc/meminfo more to see whether we do any swapping.
It could be that there is a small amount which is swapped out for
whatever reason... Maybe that's the bug...
But I'll give the patch a run anyway in an hour or so anyway.
