It should be trivial to reproduce by other people. Biggest workload is kernel compiles and quilt.
After a few hours with -git12 it's already at
dentry_cache 947013 952014 208 19 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 50100 50106 480
and starting to go into swap.
I can't imagine I'm the only one seeing this?
I have a few x86-64 patches applied too, but they don't change anything in this area.
