I think it's OK for a container to consume lots of system time during reclaim, as long as we can account that time to the container involved (i.e. if it's done during direct reclaim rather than by something like kswapd). Churning the LRU could well be bad though, I agree. Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
