Page In and Page Out Clustering

Whereas OSF/1 supports a paging algorithm that moves pages in and out one at a time, to improve performance, Digital UNIX adds support for page in and page out clustering. Although in most cases, it is more efficient to do multiple multipage DMA operations rather than multiple single page DMA operations, this is a configurable option.
