Classzone was presented and discussed extensively on the linux-mm list at
the end of April. Start here, follow the thread onwards:

I remember seeing a post or two like that here. But it seems that the
_real_ issues w/ classzone are the basic tenets of its fundamental
design. I actually see nice performance with classzone on generic PC's,
but there are clearly several ways to reach that goal. Additionally, the
aim is to have a _flexible_ VM system that will handle a wide variety of
memory topologies (NUMA, etc...).
