Arrrrrgggghhhh!!!! Exactly the wrong thing to do Marlene! Running SlowMemLast
at all will seriously degrade the recoverability of ram disk. This is because
the operating system will smush the 512K of slow fast ram every time it comes
up. Since the rrd uses the top most memory first (and slowmemlast puts the slow
memory at the end of the memory chain) the rrd will then use the slow memory
FIRST and not get recovered.
The solution here is to have CBM hurry up with 1.3 which I understand will not
smush the slow fast ram on resets.
Who told you that anyway?
