Three simulatenous compilations (gcc, kernel, gdb...each with make -j3), playing XMMS and browsing web using Mozilla (3 windows) + XEmacs. Switching between workspaces is slow...Everytime a page is loaded in Mozilla, XMMS stops for a second before continuing. Mouse pointer jumps. I have attached vmstat and top output from 2 different runs (with the same load). Seems that swapping is not smooth. It suddenly jumps from 2896 to 26780. I have noticed similar behaviour with 2.4.10-ac10 (before applying this patch). swpd entry doesn't seem to increase at all, even when the machine has similar loads as the current load.
