The intro was so well written that by the time I got to the first numa_maps output ("2aaaaad3e000 default anon=13240527 dirty=13223315 swapcache=3440324 active=13202235 N0=7865429 N1=5375098") I immediately thought "well geez look at that N0/N1 imbalance, there's your problem right there".
Point being, I haven't dealt with low-level hardware details since college, and yet your article's delightfully clear intro got me sufficiently educated to feel like I was right there with you.
