    I’ve had a problem like that once, but then I realized it made way more sense to allocate a big swap file instead and map that to memory.

      But what if you “needed” to access all of that memory every single time you produced an output character? And (only hypothetically of course) “all of that memory” was like dozens of gigs at a time.

      Only truly visionary computer scientists could be capable of such genius.
