MPW_LOLIMIT sets a lower limit for the modified-page list. When writing of the list causes the number of pages on the list to drop to or below this limit, writing stops. MPW_LOLIMIT ensures that a certain number of pages are available on the modified-page list for page faults. If the number is too small, the caching effectiveness of the modified-page list is reduced. If it is too high, less memory is available for processes, so that swap (and page) may increase. MPW_LOLIMIT has the AUTOGEN and GEN attributes.
