| What's wrong with paging?
Paging by itself clutters up your swap space. To my understanding
most UN*CES are capable to read only parts of an executable binary,
drop some of them if swap space gets scarce and reload them when
needed again.
Maybe that's another feature some people think of that it doesn't
_look_ too fancy to an average customer to be worth the trouble to
implement it :-)
