About the need to send quicky small packets: we have a similar need in my company for redondancy purpose (pinging other computer to ensure that they are working): a 40ms delay is a lot (we're not using TCP though to do this but UDP, and we're still in 2.4, so I don't know if in 2.6 we would have the same issue of not).

About the 'swap prefetch', it's sad how it was rejected out of the kernel as kernel dev saw no need of this feature: here's a customer complaining, maybe kernel devs will change their mind (though it would need a new maintainer..).
