as much RAM as you can throw at it if you have a big enough data set. I

nose-dive.
Could such proggies not spawn another process in order to use more
memory though? Instead of swapping say, to slow disk IIUC.
That's what I'm wondering. I assumed PAE kernels might aid processes
to do this automagically too.
