I still ask you to not slam buddy before you _can_ show a real alternative.
Do the math - buddy should be perfectly fine for the 8kB allocation. I'm not very worried about that.
I'd put the squad of people into making a better decision on what to throw out - look at the posting Tweedie made about performance going _up_ when you disable page aging. THAT is the thing that needs work, imho.
