I don't see why venti has gotten so memory hungry, this seems new
behavior. I realize I can twist the knobs myself but geez, this is a 4

it?

I wonder if it's a 0.11 thing or maybe a Linux thing.

seems that keeping up with qemu is at least as hard
as keeping up with real hardware.

I was wrong. I built a new kernel from sources and performance is
still very bad, with a load of 2500 minimum.
Also, venti, on this little machine, is a bit hungry for memory.
