They certainly aren't enough, the kernel you're running suffers from a 
couple different memory compaction issues that were fixed in 3.7.  I 
couldn't sympathize with your situation more, I faced the same issue 
because of thp and not slub (we use slab).

Thanks.  If you need to go back to 3.4, try using these, they 
significantly helped our issues:
