Everything is a file of sorts... map is just ram with filesystem backing. You can put large stuff that you don't continuously access into ram (which will then be paged out -> swapfs) or you put it into a temp file (either tmpfs->swap or disk). However you call it, large data that is not continuously accessed must end up on the disk because thats what it is good for. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
