4 days later:

Node 0, zone    DMA32
     nr_inactive_file 404276
     nr_vmscan_write 2897
   avg_age_inactive_file: 318208

Node 0, zone   Normal
     nr_inactive_file 4677
     nr_vmscan_write 92536
   avg_age_inactive_file: 3692

Inactive pages in the Normal zone are reclaimed in less than 4 seconds 
(vs 5 minutes in the DMA32 zone), nr_vmscan_write is high and constantly 
rising.
