This is due partly to Ananth' bugfix (we now set the page
age right for all pages) and partly due to the dynamic free
target we have right now.

The dbench thing I have to look into. I haven't figured out
yet why dbench performs slightly worse (but maybe it's just
because dbench uses an access pattern that benefits from
having worse page replacement ;))

It seems that performance during the misc001 patch is pretty
bad at times, but indeed, during mmap001 and mmap002 the system
is quite usable (in console mode).
