I made one error in that report:
This should be especially effective in improving paging
performance from the swap partition.
This is not true. The swapping is done on block allocation basis; there
isn't any optimization or calculation done to figure out which block (or
blocks) is (are) most optimal to use for swapping.
The main improvement will be in use of the /site partition, for things
like /tmp.
