Things are quite different in 1.5 - keyrings are the authoritative source of PAG information. If you have time, it would be great if you could do the same tests with 1.5, and see if you experience similar problems.
This took a little longer to set up than I'd hoped, as 1.5.72 doesn't work under RHEL4 (the platform on which I was doing most of my tests), due to the lack of zero_user_segments and page_offset in the compiled kernel module.
However, the results running 1.5.72 on a RHEL5 system are pretty much the same as with 1.4.x (where x is greater than or equal to 2), wrt system time creep.
One thing I'd noticed in RHEL4 tests (systemtap doesn't seem to give the same result under RHEL5) is that the system time usage corresponds to high frequencies of calling afs_ComputePAGStats. Compiling with AFS_NOSTATS defined or commenting out the section of code in src/afs/afs_user.c that calls afs_ComputePAGStats also relieves the problem.
