How feasible would it be to just always run the same instance of every program, instead of spending all the time allocating memory if you could just keep the existing allocation? Wouldn't it save on syscalls? You're always in the browser or a terminal, or even a file manager window anyway.
poorly written software -> memory leaks. cleaner to just kill the proc. also yes you'd save on syscalls to set up the proc like fork() but the gains aren't relative to the cost of running those
>>110284522But is it really a leak if you could just keep using the memory? Why free and alloc it again?
>>110284378Seems like a security nightmare. Insecure software that you basically never run is in a way actually very secure--because you never run it.
