Hm, isn't it better to make it a static branch? Or basically anything that allows switching on the fly? It seems that the cost of just building it in shouldn't be that high. And the question if the defragmentation worth the trouble is so much easier to answer if it's possible to turn it on and off without rebooting. Thanks! > > Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
