Yup. Here's one :-)
I've got the NetBSD source (with comments dating back to '84 and possibly before :-) and parts of the Digital Unix system administators tuning guide next to me, so I have some idea as to what to do...
But still, we need to come up with a general idea of the algorithms first (if you don't believe this, take a look at my memory-limit patch earlier today..).
