You're right, it's probably in pre5 already..
Anyway, it would be interesting to see if the patch by Andrea (I think
he called it "zone-watermarks") that changes the zone allocators to take
other zones into account makes a difference. See separate thread with
the subject line "15pre6aa1 (fixes google VM problem)".
(I think the patch is overly complex as-is, but I htink the _ideas_ in
it are fine).
