Hi, This is not strictly qemu related but I think people who have a good idea about it must be on this list. I was wondering if I had an app that requires a fixed quantity of memory - sufficiently less than the available physical memory. Would it benefit from getting rid of the paging mechanism in the OS/hardware?
As in, since the number of tasks are also fixed - we'd use only segmentation to partition the VM area? Would eliminating the paging layer give good returns?
