    2.1.10x isnt usable on a server with 16Mb. It eventually fragments
    itself to death normally death by dcache fragmentation of main
    memory. I suspect a 32Mb box will simply last longer rather than
    survive indefinitely.

    I'm rebooting 32Mb SMP machines running 2.1.106/2.1.108 every 48
    hours to get my compile performance back from 2/3rds of boot
    time.

    I don't think VM fixing by the ostrich technique is remotely realistic
    for 2.2 even if Linus does.
