FWIW, my Omnibook 4100 (PII) with 32Mb RAM and 120Mb swap had some
trouble with frequent bursts of 98% system time and high kswapd CPU
usage under 2.4.7-ac10 while compiling the kernel and running festival
(memory-intensive speech synthesizer).
Currently, with 2.4.8-ac4, everything is just swell. Thanks to whoever
did the tweaking.

That's interesting because Alan's changelog doesn't
list VM changes between 2.4.7-ac10 and 2.4.8-ac4,
except for an shmfs fix and an oom killer fix ;)
