I've done some tests with contest 0.11 . The strange thing is that seems that
in my machine (an old laptop, see below) each new version of the kernel seems
to go slowlier, at last in contest results. However, hopping that this is
useful.
I've tested three versions of the kernel, vanilla 2.4.20-pre[67] and 2.4.18-3
from RedHat. I've booted the 2.4.20-pre[67] kernels with the vga=771 option
and the 2.4.18-3 without options, so maybe this has to do something with the
results.
Please CC me because I'm not subdcribed in the lkml.
So, here it goes:

This one has an (older) -rmap VM.
