    OK, good to hear that.

    I agree that desktop users would probably prefer something even
    more aggressive. However, we do need to balance this against
    other workloads, where inactive file pages need to be given a
    fair chance to be referenced twice and promoted to the active
    file list.

    Because of that, I have chosen a patch with a minimal risk of
    regressions on any workload.
