What's he using? 8.1 seems to have alleviated the problem somewhat,
and I've done more work in CVS tip. It'll never go away entirely,
because these chips are just not very good at sharing memory, but
we've certainly reduced it quite a bit from where it was in 7.x.
7.4.12 (.12 as of last week). I've seen context-switching peak at 80000
on a quad-Xeon that really shouldn't be straining.
An upgrade is possible, but obviously needs testing against. Would your
CVS changes be against 8.2-to-be or 8.1.x?
