- renox 12d ago> the OS _writes_ unused memory pages to the swap file The OS write unused memory pages to the swap file by default. But the 'constant memory' design is usually done with locking in memory both the executable and memory pages (also pinning the process to CPUs, using realtime priorities etc).
