Nonsense! "Virtual memory means virtual performance" was the idiom from the 1960s when IBM and others fist implemented virtual memory with little understanding for the algorithms! Back the a IBM/370 with 256K of memory was typical. Linux is more sophisticated and can always use the memory, somehow.
My first experience with virtual memory was with DEC VAX 11/780 systems. Prior to that, we had overlays, where portions of code were swapped into memory. This was used with head per track disks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
