see whether it helps them. If you try the patch, and see that it
helps, or hinders, your system performance, please let me know. 

doesn't help: kswapd still wastes major CPU.

I'm now testing Kanoj' balancing patch together with my kswapd
infinite-loop-removal patch. The system seems to work quite well,
I haven't seen any big strangeness in the VM load (the variance
in the amount of free memory is a bit bigger, naturally, but that's
to be expected) and interactive performance from the console seems
unaffected.

It would be nice if a few more people tested the combination of
2.3.99-pre3 with Kanoj' balancing patch and my infinite-loop-
removal patch ...   (because YMMV)
