It's not nearly that bad in practice.  Thanks to the magic of demand
paging, most of that space (uninitialized .bss, recall) is never touched,
never paged in or out.  Making the response array that size will probably
cause one extra page to be resident (it does on Solaris 7, measured with
pmap -x).
