I still ask you to not slam buddy before you _can_ show a real
alternative.

Do the math - buddy should be perfectly fine for the 8kB allocation. I'm
not very worried about that.

I'd put the squad of people into making a better decision on what to throw

you disable page aging. THAT is the thing that needs work, imho.
