Under windows using VirtualAlloc / VirtualFree  seems to be the way to 
get rid of the second restriction, which already makes things a lot 
easier. (see my other message for details).

If you add to that the OS drops the page, so doesn't have to guess which 
page can be swapped out, doesn't have to physically write it to disk, it 
seems to be the way for great improvements.
