The VM in Linux definitely had problems even as recently as 2.4.16, with
2.4.17 being the first one that seems ok. The earlier versions would go in a
mode where they would not use memory for programs that was currently being
used as a file system cache. This was really a big problem on big-memory
machines. It made things pretty hopeless for Rico on his machines with 4 gig
of RAM, where he would not be able to get above 1 gig total for programs.
