I'm a radical here, but I think if a machine is paging, you've lost.

This has been the rule in the high end for a long time.

Sadly, now that people are embedding python in their fortran apps (I am 
not making this up), they're starting to demand paging, not realizing 
what they're doing to themselves.

Ah well.
