Ah, OK. So while doing the renderings I didn't hear the disc rattle,
it still matters that the page tables were swapped out.

Yeah, my own machine has an ENI card and that works quite well :-)
The Linux ATM code looks good. Unfortunately I won't be able to take
advantage of this because by the time Linux drivers for the SBus FORE
cards is ready, I'll have left this place.
Anyway, your feeling is this isn't a hardware problem, it's an OS
problem?
