:I'm not completely happy either: even with 40 some applications get paged out,
:which didn't occur with 2.4.
There's nothing wrong with an application getting paged out if it
is idle. It really isn't a bad thing. It frees up memory for the
apps which ARE running.
What people don't seem to like is when a lot of apps get paged out
overnight in order to satisfy certain overnight operations which
operate on a very large data set (the entire filesystem) and
can't be cached anyway.
: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...
