The reason I would like VM doesn't really have to do with demand-paging
from disk, it has to do with de-fragmenting physical memory! Especially
programs like SB-Prolog, which like to allocate huge contiguous blocks of
memory. I have had many occasions when I haven't rebooted for several
days, but have to because I want to run a program that needs/wants a
larger contiguous chunk of memory than I have left.
