Unless you're on a 4MB machine (and sometimes even then) the frequency
of its use will pretty much guarantee all the important blocks are in
buffers much of the time though, which means of course that the I/Os to
read them won't result in any actual disk activity.  I.e. it's not
really that HUGE.  Heck it would run fine (size-wise) on an ancient
PDP-11 (indeed with a good code generator /11 code might even be 2/3's
that big!  :-)

That machine _is_ running -current with UBC (1.5W as of 2001/06/24, actually)
