I love QNX, but I've never understood why they wont write a swapper for it. Maybe they have in the last few years, I haven't kept up. They had an almost religious statement that QNX should never be a desktop system, so that's why it shouldn't swap.

It would be so nice to see the real time priority system they use applied to a swap server process.
