Wow, nice, thanks for sharing that info :)

I take a quick look, seems like that kernel is patched with Con
Kolivas patchset too.. which is also nice IMHO...since -ck is known to
be a desktop friendly by lowering latency and increasing
interactivity.

BTW, swappiness=0? that means, hardly swap out IIRC. It can be good
but it can be bad too IMO... during tight memory situation, it will
cause paging do a lot that neccessary. I think better to make it 10 or
20, so paging out could be started right after it hits certain
threshold.
