In general what is the best way to see what has changed in a new CentOS kernel? (apart from looking at the %changelog)

Just one more piece of information: a simple recompile isn't what has fixed the problem every time, the recompile has involved an upgrade to 2.6.16 as well
There is a bad patch to the vm that makes the box use swap even when there is free RAM space available. Maybe that is what you are seeing.
I don't think so, swap usage is only 440k
The fix will be in the 4.4 release kernel.
What kernel version will be in 4.4? I can look this up myself too if someone can kindly give me a pointer :) _______________________________________________
2.6.9-42.EL (on the 4.4 CD when released)
or
2.6.9-42.0.2.EL (new out today ... will be an update)

I'd guess the changelog, whatever patches have been applied by the .spec and possibly by diffing the config-${kernelver} against a current kernel's /boot/config-$(uname -r) ?
Will.
