[DATAPOINT] pre7-final slow - tries to keep 10M/64Mb free

[Benjamin Redelings I <bredelin@ucla.edu>]

My experience with pre7 has not been very good.

I have 64Mb RAM - the system started swapping out when I had 15MB free.

It appears to be trying to shrink the page cache even when there is no
memory pressure.  Unlike pre7-9, pre7-final as a small page cache, and
doesn't swap out that much.  LIke pre7-9, however, it is only fair to
middling at swapping out the right pages.
