I haven't found any silver bullets ;) but the one line bend-adjust
below does help the cache problem a little on my wimpy 128mb box.
Worth trying out on other boxen with other loads? It doesn't get
swap in/out to a 1:1 ratio, but does improve it considerably by
scanning a larger portion of active pages prior to swapout.
(the other two lines are there only because it seemed reasonable;)
