- Sure, as long as the app doesn't reject that. It should even benefit from
- sharable code (given the fact that some rather bright guys did the kernel :-)
- As a brute force test of paging, I did a
- for %f in (*.*) do start notepad %f
- in a big directory (Notepad seems to read the complete file into a big memory
- block.)
- It behaved better than I thought. The mouse cursor got
- jerky, though, and NT crashed when the paging file had filled up the complete
- C: disk (some 120 MB left before.)
- But I still could do something else in parallel until then. Unpolished, but
