?Do you know if remote swap is working well now? I remember it working not
so good because it's a difficult problem, but I haven't tested it lately.?
I suspect remote swap works better now, in part because systems have
been moving more towards specialized allocators. (motivated by wanting
to scale-per-core, for instance.) it was always possible to make
network-swap robust: all it takes is enough partitioning of storage
pools, so that you don't run into an allocation-swap-allocation gotcha.
is net-swap really ever a good idea? it always seems like asking for
trouble, though in principle there's no reason why net IO should be
"worse" than disk IO...
