Hi,
I'v noticed that Mr Les Schaffer <schaffer@optonline.net> had reported such
problem on Oct 30 in his mail entiled "2.4.13 (SMP): kswapd working furiously,
to no effect". So this mail is just to say that the problem had hit more than
one persons.
I encountered this kswapd problem yesterday after the machine ruuning for 22 hours:
kswapd crazily use 99% of CPU time even if I switched to single mode.
About half an hour ago, when I starting build the newly 2.2.20 kernel and
opened a Mozilla session, I noticed that kswapd got crazy again:

Howerver it become quite quiet now. I don't know who has made it
calm down :-)
