I'm not completely happy either: even with 40 some applications get paged out, which didn't occur with 2.4. I also had a new deadlock this night (possibly during the daily periodic run). Symptoms were the same as usual: no keyboard input, no network activity, many pmap_interlock messages on the console... The new crash dump is there: http://www.wolfpond.org/crash.dfly/ I have now set vfs.vm_cycle_point to 64 just in case. I may still be positively surprised... -- Francois Tigeot
