I'm in the middle of (re)reading all this. Meanwhile I'll push it all
out to http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/ for the crazier testers.

You claim in the above that the fork worload is 'slab intensive". Or
at least, you seem to - it's a bit fuzzy.

But how slab intensive is it, really?

What is extremely slab intensive is networking. The networking guys
are very sensitive to slab performance. If this hasn't already been
done, could you please determine what impact this has upon networking?
I expect Eric Dumazet, Dave Miller and Tom Herbert could suggest
testing approaches.
