Just wondering - has anyone who was having issues with the VM subsystem
in 2.4.5 and a few versions below tried v2.4.6-pre2? Is the problem
reduced and/or resolved?
Thanks

The answer is both yes and no, depending on which VM problem
you're talking about. ;)

One comment: If he's talking about the dead swap pages issue, I haven't
seen any reports about the pre2 change.
Still waiting...

What is about the problem that 2.4.x is swapping out too much? Are there
currently any patches for testing? Or are there some values in proc
which can change this bad vm-behaviour?
