    Where VM wins is when you have a lot of inactive code lying around.
Maybe you've got printer or network daemons loaded all the time that spend
almost all their time sitting around waiting for work, or you run large
applications that include a great many functions that you don't use
simultaneously, or whatever.  VM can make it much cheaper to run these
sorts of apps.
