SubjectRe: [2.4.17/18pre] VM and swap - it's really unusable

please, PLEASE stop using "make -j"
for anything except the fork-bomb that it is.
pretending that it's a benchmark, especially one
to guide kernel tuning, is a travesty!

if you want to simulate VM load, so something sane like
boot with mem=32M, or a simple "mmap(lots); mlockall" tool.
