Though some might dislike it because they say, "I load a program, and part of it never gets modified, why not just keep only what I need paged into memory?" My gut says that this is wrong, but some good benchmarks would be useful. I don't like guessing at files though - constantly guessing wrong would massively increase the size of your working set, causing you to make the swap problem worse for other programs. You might achieve a modicum of sanity by setting limits on how much data/program you are willing to preload. So you increase the working set, but by a tunable amount.

It lives on in the OS called "Volume Information Index" (or something close) No frickin way does ANYTHING need to know as much about the filesystem. Or the contents of the files.
