I have done part of this work with my write deferred swap (I will port it to test3 ASAP). The deferred swap write also helps. It is related with your question about removing swap_out function, it is related with the scanning and the several lists setup. vii> BTW, Is there any timescale for integrating page coloring?

The one from Compaq appeared to have some problems with some workloads (see the comments from Dave Miller, I think in this list). I haven't seen the David one, I can't comment on that. But I suppose that the integration will be a 2.5 thing (Wild, wild guess).
