This once-a-second wakeup for kswapd looks like an artifact of the 2.4.7-period MM design, even 2.4.17 doesn't have that any more as far as I can see.
My observations were indeed with the only kernel that currently is supported for IBM middleware applications... I the outloook is that close I probably should have a look. Thanks.
Once this is gone, the 5-second interval for kswapd is the next one to address.
I'm not sure what you are talking about here ...
Sorry, meant kupdated/bdflush... there's a (default) 5 seconds scan.
