I use 3.0.0 since quite some time. But my setup is different. Since my new
ThinkPad T520 with Intel SSD 320 I do not think much about I/O performance
problems as thats blazingly fast...
I seen vmstat numbers like yours with my T42 and Western Digital 320 IDE
laptop drive or my T23 with Hitachi laptop drive. Laptop harddisks aren´t
the fastest.
