Memory Fragmentation and buddyinfo

Here's an example of output from my /proc/buddyinfo:
Node 0, zone DMA 66 80 25 22 6 2 0
0 2 1 1
Node 0, zone Normal 9374 2257 1609 340 12 0 0
1 0 0 1
Node 0, zone HighMem 0 4 8 12 4 5 1
0 0 0 0
I understand the algorithm but I can't seem to find a definitive explanation
on how memory fragmentation can affect my server, what values in buddyinfo I
should be concerned about, or what can be done if I do experience excessive
memory fragmentation. Thanks.
