OK, I could, so I searched back and -pre1 was OK. This behavior showed up in -pre2. It seems to be related to the mm changes. Unfortunately I don't know how to back those out safely to check that.
To repeat, I set up a window that has to be redrawn (no backing store), then use ee (electric eyes) to scroll through 50 or so JPGs then go back to redraw the aforementioned window. In -pre2 I get 5 sec freezes and no disk IO during the interval, so it seems like a memory management thing.
Any tests I could do? A -pre2 patch without the mm changes?
