Hi,

A question for VM people:

If I remember right, the rationale behind Emacs dumping and unexecing 
itself was to be able to move byte-compiled lisp code into its text segment
so that it could be shared across multiple invocations of the program.

Now will this sharing be done by the VM layer in FreeBSD if I mmap a file 
read-only and shared across multiple processes?
