Your _laptop_ saves 100MB of RAM?  That's extraordinary.  Essentially
that's like getting an extra 100MB of page cache for free.  Is there
any observable slowdown?  I could even see there being a speedup (due
to your working set being allowed to be 5% larger)

I am now a big fan of this patch and shall try to give it the review
that it deserves.
