SubjectRe: [2.1.130-3] Page cache DEFINATELY too persistant... feature?

This patch has _vastly_ improved my subjective impression of the VM
behavior of 130-pre3. My computer is a laptop with 32M and a fairly
slow (non-DMA) hard drive; after this patch, things that used to be
quite slow -- especially Navigator -- seem much more snappy.

Thanks!
