Yeah, maybe I'm being completely naive in myunderstanding of buss
bandwidth sharing, but I refuse to accept the *above* given what
modern graphics hardware can do with AGP2 and disk controllers
with DMA.
How about a special optimization to the swap that allows for
high speed handling of linear page faults ?
If I'm hardware lock/bandwidth stupid, then please correct me.

I'm doing real time *non-so-critical* digital audio here. ;-)
