Both the -mm results avoid the increased IO based slowdown that has come back in 2.5.41

2.5.41 [1]              101.6   73      30      3       1.51
2.5.41-mm1 [3]          144.6   50      37      2       2.15
2.5.41-mm2 [3]          139.2   52      36      2       2.07

You can see clearly how the lowered vm_swappiness present since 2.5.41-mm1 has made it slower under mem_load. It has relaxed slightly since the changes to
- -mm2. Below is a set of results with -mm2 and my suggested autoregulation changes to vm_swappiness:

2.5.41-mm2v [2] 114.6 64 29 2 1.71

While it still is slower than vanilla, this modification makes for a far less swappy kernel except when it is heavily called upon.

Here are also the experimental loads:

2.4.19 [2]              106.5   70      1       8       1.59
2.5.38 [1]              97.2    79      1       6       1.45
2.5.39 [1]              91.8    83      1       6       1.37
2.5.40 [1]              96.9    80      1       6       1.44
2.5.41 [1]              93.3    81      1       6       1.39
2.5.41-mm1 [3]          91.6    81      1       5       1.36
2.5.41-mm2 [2]          91.0    81      1       5       1.35

tarx_load:

Kernel [runs]           Time    CPU%    Loads   LCPU%   Ratio
2.4.19 [1]              132.4   55      2       9       1.97
2.5.38 [1]              120.5   63      2       8       1.79
2.5.39 [1]              108.3   69      1       6       1.61
2.5.40 [1]              110.7   68      1       6       1.65
2.5.41 [2]              138.8   53      2       8       2.07
2.5.41-mm1 [3]          188.4   43      2       7       2.80
2.5.41-mm2 [2]          195.3   38      2       7       2.91

This also seems to be detrimentally affected by decreased vm_swappiness, as autoregulation changes the results to this:

2.5.41-mm2v [2] 136.4 54 1 7 2.03

Which seems to bring it back into line with 2.5.41
