Hi!

It seems, that kswapd is swapping continuously to get its
128k block free, if memory is fragmented.
I saw this after a parallel compile of Wine/gtk+/kernel.
After the compiles finished, kswapd started to swap
(and never stopped, even after half an hour - btw.
free reports more than 20 Meg of my 32 as _free_ - system
was totally unloaded at this stage)

Richard.
