What is you comment?
If we really thought this was true, it would be straightforward enough to bump the mlock limits for users and get some of the high-touch apps to lock their text sections. I can add this to the X server tomorrow trivially even without that (the joys of being root).
I'm not _that_ convinced. I mean, the way to measure this is to look at the io trace hooks and see what you end up reading in. I'd be mildly surprised if it was text sections.
