I used this for 2+ days on up-to-date -current. Memory usage is much
lower than before.
I have 512MB memory, running Xorg, firefox with many tabs, several
rxvt-unicode, mplayer.
Without this patch, after one day, it begins to swapping heavily. I
didn't do any benchmark
on speed. At least, I does not feel any slowness compared to w/o patch.

Thanks,
