+ <braunr> another not-too-long improvement would be changing the page cache
+ policy
+ <youpi> to drop the 4000 objects limit, you mean ?
+ <braunr> yes
+ <youpi> do you still have my patch attempt ?
+ <braunr> no
+ <youpi> let me grab that
+ <braunr> oh i won't start it right away you know
+ <braunr> i'll ask for it when i do
+ <youpi> k
+ <braunr> (otherwise i fell i'll just loose it again eh)
+ <youpi> :)
+ <braunr> but i imagine it's not too hard to achieve
+ <youpi> yes
+ <braunr> i also imagine to set a large threshold of free pages to avoid
+ deadlocks
+ <braunr> which will still be better than the current situation where we
+ have either lots of free pages because tha max limit is reached, or lots
+ of pressure and system freezes :/
+ <youpi> yes
