Yeah, I don't think either is worse or better - I really want a more stable
test though, if I can find one.

Yeah, that's odd.

Because it's frigging hard to make a 16GB machine swap ;-) 'twas just my
desktop.

Yeah, it's hard to do mem= on NUMA, but I have a patch from someone
somehwere. Those machines don't tend to swap heavily anyway, but I suppose
page reclaim in general will happen.
