Elapsed (wall clock) time in seconds is much better in 2.4.13-pre2aa1:
2.4.12aa1
Averages for 10 mtest01 runs
bytes allocated: 1253362892.8
User time (seconds): 2.099
System time (seconds): 2.823
Elapsed (wall clock) time: 64.109
Percent of CPU this job got: 7.5%
Major (requiring I/O) page faults: 135.2
Minor (reclaiming a frame) faults: 306779.8
2.4.13-pre2aa1
Averages for 10 mtest01 runs
bytes allocated: 1245184000
User time (seconds): 2.050
System time (seconds): 2.874
Elapsed (wall clock) time: 49.513
Percent of CPU this job got: 9.7%
Major (requiring I/O) page faults: 115.6
Minor (reclaiming a frame) faults: 304781.9
Note on mp3blaster audio performance:
2.4.12aa1 got smooth at a lower swpd number than 2.4.13-pre2aa1.
2.4.12aa1 became smooth when swpd hit around 130000-140000 (and above).
2.4.13-pre2aa1 became smooth when swpd hit around 280000-300000 (and above).
2.4.13-pre2aa1 vmstat 1 output. This is an example from one of the 10 iterations.
At the point the vmstat output starts, mp3blaster has been playing smoothly for
about 20 seconds.

Around here, mp3blaster begins to stutter.

At this point, mp3blaster is smooth again.
