+    <braunr> another not-too-long improvement would be changing the page cache
+      policy
+    <youpi> to drop the 4000 objects limit, you mean ?
+    <braunr> yes
+    <youpi> do you still have my patch attempt ?
+    <braunr> no
+    <youpi> let me grab that
+    <braunr> oh i won't start it right away you know
+    <braunr> i'll ask for it when i do
+    <youpi> k
+    <braunr> (otherwise i fell i'll just loose it again eh)
+    <youpi> :)
+    <braunr> but i imagine it's not too hard to achieve
+    <youpi> yes
+    <braunr> i also imagine to set a large threshold of free pages to avoid
+      deadlocks
+    <braunr> which will still be better than the current situation where we
+      have either lots of free pages because tha max limit is reached, or lots
+      of pressure and system freezes :/
+    <youpi> yes
