2.1.88 working well but ....

2.1.88 seems to have fixed the instabilities of the previous couple of kernels,
at least for me.

My standard stress test here is to run make -j on the tk8.0 sources mounted
via nfs. That typically runs well into swap on my machine and drives the load
average up to around 100.
It completes without crashing anything these days but ...
With the heavy swapping going on I'm obviously having problems getting memory
for network buffers somewhere.

Is there any simple way to tweak the system to reduce this problem ?

Thanks
