I just fitted an extra 512M of RAM to my laptop, and though there is

was no more memory free.  (My recollection may be faulty, though.)

Indeed, the older rmaps swapped later.  However, swapping
a little bit earlier turns out to be faster for almost all
workloads.

Having said that, for some reason rmap15a is sometimes
swapping a lot too early. This is something I still have
to fix...
