After testing the patches intensively, I have to say that although they do improve the situation, they do it only slightly. I guess the best solution is still disabling swap.
Also, what's the idea of having a swappiness tunable if it doesn't work? I can set it to 0, and even though I have only 70% of physical memory in use the system starts swapping to disk.
