Test result is following as.

1) Elapased time 10GB file decompressed.
Old			inorder			inorder + pagevec flush[10/10]
01:47:50.88		01:43:16.16		01:40:27.18

2) failure of inorder lru
For test, it isolated 375756 pages. Only 45875 pages(12%) are put backed to
out-of-order(ie, head of LRU) Others, 329963 pages(88%) are put backed to in-order
(ie, position of old page in LRU).
I'm getting more and more worried about how complex MM is becoming and
this patchset doesn't take us in a helpful direction :(
Hmm. I think it's not too complicated stuff. :(
But I understand your concern enoughly.
But it's hard to argue with numbers like that.  Please respin patches 6-10?
Of course, but it would be rather late due to my business and other interesting features.
I will try to get a new data point in next version.

Thanks, Andrew.
