It's the number one problem we need to fix for 2.2.  Fortunately a lot
of people are aware of the problem and we spent a lot of time talking
about it at expo and Usenix.  I think we've got a good handle on how
to start tackling the obvious problems, but there will still be a lot of
tuning required before we can release a 2.2 kernel and call it stable.

I'll write up an outline of what I think we need to start doing once
I'm back from Usenix.
