both works for me and gives noticable speedup, when operating on big files and 
when starting big apps or swapping.


other question (swap_pager.c):

/*
  * SWB_NPAGES must be a power of 2.  It may be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16
  * pages per allocation.  We recommend you stick with the default of 8.
  * The 16-page limit is due to the radix code (kern/subr_blist.c).
  */

can this be changed/fixed? 64-128 would be nicer...
