Recently, there are reported problem about thrashing.
(http://marc.info/?l=rsync&m=128885034930933&w=2)
It happens by backup workloads(ex, nightly rsync).
That's because the workload makes just use-once pages
and touches pages twice. It promotes the page into
active list so that it results in working set page eviction.
