what do you mean?!?! i've been tuning my system to allow succesfull use
of ls and emacs for decades! what a crazy idea that software should
"Just Work", in these days of rampant elephants, that idea will never
take off.
I really have no idea what "control over memory" means. The only
"control" method I know is MAP_FIXED in mmap. If deep down that means a
love affair with MAP_FIXED is going on, the pain will continue until it
stops doing that.
