I don't think I age anonymous pages any more than any other type of page. Perhaps you are saying that shared pages should recieve some bonus? That is a different issue and it is handled naturally with my patch. If shared pages are actually used then PageTouch() will be called on them more often. This should work better than the current PG_referenced bit. Prehaps I am missing your point. Can you explain in more detail how these pages are aged more often?
