    Hello,

    just my experience in this topic:
    I worked on -pre11 for one complete day after massive nfs server usage, no
    problems so far.
    current meminfo looks like:

    total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
    Mem: 923574272 865853440 57720832 0 66609152 629137408
    Swap: 271392768 434176 270958592
    MemTotal: 901928 kB
    MemFree: 56368 kB
    MemShared: 0 kB
    Buffers: 65048 kB
    Cached: 614240 kB
    SwapCached: 152 kB
    Active: 671956 kB
    Inactive: 7484 kB

    HighFree: 0 kB

    I currently compile kernel with -j 5 while playing mp3s via xmms without the
    slightest problem (xosview load is now 8). I tried xmms run as root and user,
    makes no difference. I tried starting applications (like mozilla or
    applixware), no problem. No mouse hangs or anything else negative. I am _not_
    using alsa, but emu10k1 from kernel.
    I couldn't even make it crash or skip in xmms while singing Torn together with
    Natalie - and listening to that _is_ real stress :-))

    You only have to find some strategy to come around these formerly noticed alloc
    failures, perhaps by an idea to free up pages instantly if an alloc would fail
    otherwise (now). I like the overall performance very much, Andrea.

    Regards,
    Stephan
