(I put it into virgin 2.5.47 fwiw)   I have some very odd behavior.  I 
wanted to see how the kernel did at make -j30 bzImage on my test box to see 
what effect it has on throughput (box is 500 Mhz PIII + 128Mb ram), and get 
vmstat output like the attached.  I should be roughly 30Mb into swap and 
paging heftily at this point.
