@Bryan, @Milan, It is unlikely that Jens' bdi patches will substantially affect the issue. It appears that the problem is in large part due to poor eviction choices on the part of the VM system. There are some patches in mm to fix this. See my previous comment. If you are going to put together a testing kernel you would be much better off trying these I believe.
