Ok. That was kind of the expected thing.
I don't really know the NUMA fault rate limiting code, but one thing that strikes me is that if it tries to balance the NUMA faults against the *regular* faults, then maybe just the fact that we end up taking more COW faults after a NUMA fault then means that the NUMA rate limiting code now gets over-eager (because it sees all those extra non-numa faults).
Mel, does that sound at all possible? I really have never looked at the magic automatic rate handling..
