I've been running current (just built the world with a sup from early
morning May 3rd) with UVM.
I have a sparc10s with 32Mb of RAM. I believe the machine has been
more stable, but I have no hard data. I have not noticed any change
in performance, but it doesn't have enough memory; so it pages all the
time anyway...
paging performance should be greatly increased under UVM -- the pageout
operation was between 4-8 times as far under "heavy load" than the mach
VM was, which gave me a much more responsive system (this is mostly due
to the clustered pageout chuck and i implemented).
