- If you set the MacOS memory size to 20MB then some paging (either by
- A/UX or MacOS Virtual Memory or both) will be done since you only _have_
- 20MB and A/UX (well... the unix part) is using a chunk of it.

- The easiest thing to do is do some tests, 1st at 8MB, then 12 and then
- maybe 16... See which setting allows for you to use the MacOS in the
- way you want and has the "best" performance.
