your "webserver" is actually database serwer with addons.
mixserver - mix of what?
My "mixserver" have certainly far different mix of your "mixserver", as i 
don't use python heavily for example, while use squid, clamav (both fits 
well in superpages), and don't run large memory postgres process.


What is "desktop". A computer sitting on the desk? May 
run a lot of different programs.

Your "desktop" as i can see use KDE bloatware and postgres.

As for me, such namings are completely imprecise and such statistics say 
NOTHING.

What REAL knowledge i acquired from your work is that postgres are very 
well fit for superpage mapping, if large DB buffer is used.

Actually - Whenever there are long running processes in the system that 
allocate and use large memory chunks then superpage promotion will work.



My idea - lets do a survey based on PROCESS NAME.
this will give a really meaningful information.
