That's an interesting statement; I was under the impression that
the two-handed sweep had been around since about SVR0, or at least
SVR2.  Or maybe it was a Berkelification, but I didn't think that
Sun had invented it.  I learned about it from a SysV internals class
I was in, where there was the scan rate, i.e. how quickly the first hand
scanned the pages, and the validation interval (or some such) which
was how close the second hand was to the first one.

Or is this something different that I'm not catching?
