I've also got a bit tuned syspart (/usr/share/policy/etc/rx51/syspart.conf)
looking forward getting memory free fully working as it's a big stopper at the moment IMO.
Will you try page-cluster values 0,1,2 to see if there is any difference?

Re memory free - it is working OK, trust me on that. My understanding is that what happens is the best possible scenario, i.e. instead of notification for a page that was just marked as unused it is immediately overwritten. While we have notifications for the pages that are not immediately overwritten.
For sure there are optimizations to be done, if you look at the code there is a mutex used on write operations.

And for the amount of applications you are testing with - try that on your laptop and tell me how it went
