No, unfortunately not. My machine is mainly designed to run squid, and it suffered from very long stalls. After posting the problem, I was advised to read about vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background_ratio, and lower these. I tried several combinations, and with 4/2, the stalls vanished completely.
