I've done some further changes. nr_freeable_pages is still there (since worked fine so far). But the new code should be far more friendly in low memory. I am doing everything in 32 Mbyte (as some month ago by default btw ;) to force me to test the new code ;).
This new code will not give a swapout raw speed as the previous one but looks far more sane for low memory conditions. The old code was extreme, the best to half the swapout time and to get the best numbers, but too much aggressive to use the machine for doing other tasks at the same time in low memory.
I would like to hear comments if somebody will try it. If you care about low memory machines please try it and let me know.
