Re: ideas for a swapping daemon



Seems like a good idea. But experience with vhand
shows that what we should be most careful about is 
waking the swapping daemon too often, consuming 
resources. So, if anyone is writing it (I might
start by patching kswapd's routines to allow 
"forcing"), please keep an easily configurable
parameter (perhaps run-time adjusted through proc-fs)
controlling how often it is woken up, for easier
determining of the heuristics.
