trace data which starts _before_ the cache dropdown starts and while it
is decreasing should be the first step. Ideally along with /proc/vmstat
gathered at the same time. I am pretty sure you have some high order
memory consumer which forces the reclaim and we over reclaim. Last data
was not really conclusive as it didn't really captured the dropdown
IIRC.
