The fragmentation issue will get better when I have written
the new allocator. When I keep it simple and really trivial
I might even convince Linus to merge it in a stable release.
The performance will mainly need swapin readahead. I've
found swapout to be quite fast already.
The other performance issue is with multiple scanning of
shared pages, which will be fixed for free once the PTE
chaining of you and Ben is done...
Rik.
