But as i see all the discussion here that's what's _not_ being honored. Peo= ple=20 request swap prefetch, it wouldn't be hard to give it to them but they=20 probably won't get it (or it takes a 5 days, 200+ messages discussion(in th= e=20 ck list alone were already 190 messages posted about this)). Give the people plugshed so everyone can happily be using SD instead of CFS= - =20 no way! There sure are more examples to be given.
