These problems are known and being worked upon -- they are not trivial to solve or they would've been fixed long ago. Changes made recently are making the memory fragmentation issue much more noticable to normal users, hence the swapping frenzies. Until the fix for the fragmentation problem is complete, expect excessive swapping. Kswapd wasn't designed to defragment memory.
