I guess I see your point, but just to be difficult: Why do you think it is a bad idea? I see two potential issues: boot speed and memory use. Moving stuff around in memory should be pretty much instantaneous, and the memory (a couple of MB) will be swapped out quick enough so it shouldn't make a difference. I'd be happy to write a new patch where this is optional, but I don't think we should optimize for stuff unless we know it is a measurable problem. -t
