The design is heavily based on the FreeBSD VM subsystem - a proven design - with some tweaks where we think things can be improved. Can the differences between your system and what FreeBSD has be isolated or contained -- I ask this because the FreeBSD VM works _very_ well compared to recent linux kernels; if/when the new system is implement it would nice to know if performance differences are tuning related or because of 'tweaks'. --cw -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
