hi thank you, it's just a quick hack :)
   the current big bug is that mem is not copied, rather shared, on
   fork(), which means some is likely getting a little corrupt.  [this may
   or may not change.]

     i remember running full gnuradio toolchain builds on an ARM
     gumstick.
     gotta pull out all the stops!

   yeah.
   did you just use lots of swap?

     i'll take a look later this week when i have some time. i'm curious
     to add compression to the file backed memory, as flash i/o is
     horribly
     slow, and compression may result in a net gain despite adding CPU
     load.
     (new embedded devices have more cores anyway, so this might not be
     bad)

   mimalloc intercepts malloc() and free()
   the vmem branch opens a file and calls mmap() when a page is needed
   if you like this project, after seeing how simple my changes are you
   might reimplement them better.

     fun stuff, keep it up Karl!
     best regards, enjoy some nature too :)

   :)
   hope you are well !
