The patch only affects Intel
processor-based boxes.
Machines in question are intel-based, PIII or Celeron, no "new" processor,
though. As I said it cannot be a general problem, maybe it affects P4
machines or so. It doesn't seem to affect the machines with CentOS 4.3 I
use.
Same here. PIII boxes.
The interesting figure in your free output is that there are 0 buffers on
the RHEL machine.
Precisely because that patch changed the vm to behave like that. That
patch don't pay any attention to swappiness or what not. It puts memory
pressure on running processes instead.
