+| 2.4?: make page aging tunable |
++----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Bug #: 1206 Product: Linux kernel MM |
+| Status: NEW Version: 2.4 (stable) |
+| Resolution: Platform: All |
+| Severity: trivial OS/Version: Linux |
+| Priority: P3 Component: linux mm |

++============================================================================+
+| DESCRIPTION |
+since nobody seems to know exactly which page aging tactic works best for
+general purpose workloads (or, what a general purpose workload means, for that
+matter) it may be an idea to put something in the 2.4 kernel which allows people
+to choose between a few page aging tactics.
+
+Having a test base of several tens of thousands people who actually play with
+the stuff in /proc might give us a better idea which page aging tactic works
+best, without any noticable cost in code complexity or system stability...
+
+I already have a trivial piece of code available to tune the page aging tactic.
+
+Comments ?
