Also there is a code commented out that enables memory hooks if

not work correctly in such setup.
There is still some debate about what will be the default behavior with
the leave_pinned option but we should have something in the trunk soon.
Can you explain to me what is the concern? Infiniband will not function
properly otherwise (can be easely demonstrated).
Agred - we will make this the default on the release branch.
Also memfree hooks decrease cache efficiency, the better solution would
be to catch brk() system calls and remove memory from cache only then,
but there is no way to do it for now.
We are look at other options, including catching brk/munmap system calls, and
will be experimenting w/ these on the trunk.
Thanks,
Tim
