UPDATE: This was fixed in CM9 alpha2. We think...
CM9 longterm testing is showing Android and kswapd0 (part of the linux kernel) are fighting over the small amout of space available. Android appears to be caching some apps to use most of the available space however when an App opens the sudden lack of free ram causes kswapd0 to become very active and and eat a lot of cpu for seemingly no purpose till android releases a small amount of ram to pacify kswapd0.
I backed out https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_victory/commit/9f470cb2eda8f9c5316c2772bf0c2d5c53d8b138 which was a lowmemkiller change and it appears to have been the cause of the issue. I am continuing to monitor the memory and will update with any further changes. Is there threshold changes that need to be made?
