Faster message passing, faster context switches (no need to copy memory and
translate addresses (MOVES instruction)), but best of all, the ability of
programs to access its other address space directly. I for one think its really
neat to have hacks such as Vscreen, Dmouse, Snip-It and others which would be
rather impossible to implement if the single addressing space was not used.

I was saying that ideal is what I propose for virtual memory and memory
protection. Indeed, Exec is not ideal as it stands now, but it will be after
I upgrade it.   :-)
