Moving to BFS solves *a* problem *you're* having. According to comment #589, the VM thrashing problem still occurs when using BFS.

Perhaps BFS schedules a process that is encountering a serial string of page faults more favorably than the CFS, but that doesn't solve the underlying problem of executable pages being evicted from RAM to make excessive space available for caching large writes.
