Re: [ck] swap prefetching merge plans

Firstly, swap prefetch actually doesn't handle the midnight updatedb

pageout

problem nicely. It doesn't do any prefetching when the pagecache/vfs cache fills memory (which is what would have to happen for updatedb to push stuff into swap).

So is use once just horribly broken, or is updatedb reading everything
multiple times for some reason?
