- No, I don't think so. That's not what I was saying at all. I'm saying that
- there is an inherent advantage to having a UNIX system that will run in 1M,
- all other things being equal, because that implies better design than an
- equivalent system that requires 4M. That improved design will pay off in
- improved performance at 4M or 8M over the more bloated system.
