kswapd at 96% CPU on my 16Mb system

With test1-ac17 I still have very bad performance, because kswapd eats
almost all of the CPU cycles. The bare test1 was a little better, but not
much.

With ALT-scroll-lock I was able to see that it spends most of its time in
wake_up and friends.

Is there a way to tune kswapd behaviour on my machine? Or, are there
certain things I can try? This is on a system with 16Mb memory. My system
with 64Mb runs fine though. Perhaps I should try to boot that one with
mem=16M.
