Ported it to 2.6.35-rc6, and these are my results using the same fs_mark
call as before:

slice_idle = 0

Huh...there's quite a difference! It's definitely the slice_idle settings
which affect the results here. Besides, this patch gives noticeably bad
desktop interactivity on my system.

Don't know if this is related, but I'm not quite shure if XFS (which I use
exclusively) uses the jbd/jbd2 journaling layer at all.

Thanks,
Heinz.
