Actually, it made not be pre6. I patched the kernel per some thread on LKML a few days before, but had not had the opportunity to reboot and run it until pre6. The patch was :
--- linux/mm/page_alloc.c.~1~ Tue Mar 20 15:05:46 2001 +++ linux/mm/page_alloc.c Sat Apr 21 19:01:47 2001 @@ -454,7 +454,6 @@ if (gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT) { memory_pressure++; try_to_free_pages(gfp_mask); - wakeup_bdflush(0); goto try_again; } }
It would make more sense that the above change was responsible for the improvement.
