Here are VolanoMark results for 2.5.38 and 2.5.38-mm3 for both
3GB (memory pressure) and 4GB.  I will repeat for 2.5.40 mm1 or
what ever is the latest and greatest on Friday.

SUT same as :

NOTE : the swap device is on ServeRAID which is probably bouncing for
the HIGHMEM pages in most if not all of the tests so results will
likely improve when bouncing is eliminated.  Need to work this problem next.

2419     = 2.4.19 + o(1) scheduler
2419rmap = 2.4.19 + rmap14b + o(1) scheduler

%sys/%user = ratio of %system CPU utilization to %user CPU utilization.

* used pgin/pgout instead of swapin/swapout since /proc/stat changed.

2.5.38 does not perform as well as 2.5.26 (before rmap).
46081/51284 = 89.9 % or 10.1 % degradation.

2.5.38mm3 does not perform as well as 2.5.38.
44950/46081 = 97.5 % or 2.5 % degradation.
CPU utilization is also higher - 99.8 vs 90.1.

2.5.38 does not perform as well as 2.5.26.
53084/55426 = 95.8 % or 4.2 % degradation.

2.5.38mm3 does not perform as well as 2.5.38.
49933/53084 = 94.1 % or 5.9 % degradation. Higher ratio of system CPU.
