[CentOS] Kernel update = slower ?

Johnny,

    After reading about the VM issue, I concur.  The previous kernel did 
exhibit the behavior noted in the URL you sent.  Looking right now, I 
see a considerable difference in use / swap.  The software running on 
the machine generally uses anwhere from 1.2 > 1.4Gb of memory, and I had 
noticed swap would, over time, increase, while there was still *some* 
memory available, but it never would use totally all of it.  The 
application running right now is a little different from the one that 
runs late-night and after 16z, so I'll take a peek at it either tonight 
if I'm up or in the a.m. after the thing starts.  I'll also note swap 
and its size as time progresses to see if it increases as before with 
free mem.

    Thanks for the info.
