I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly here, but are you saying 
that most of the time not all of a process's memory space is in hardware 
RAM? If you are saying that, then I would disagree, at least in the 
context of httpd/mod_perl. Most of the time (if not all the time) the 
goal should be to have enough RAM that your httpd processes completely 
fit into memory.

Or am I missing something?
