    Hi,

    where can I find documentation on the vm.defer_swapspace_pageouts
    sysctl? LINT only mentions it, without explaining, man sysctl doesn't
    mention it at all, and even Google yields very few useful results...

    I was looking for a way to tune swap-usage a bit, I heard Linux has a
    "swappiness" setting (telling the kernel how easy it should go with
    paging out), and I hoped FreeBSD would have something similar.
    vm.defer_swapspace_pageouts might do the trick, but so it seems to be
    poorly documented...
