I don't know about IDL-specific methods, but I usually try to rewrite the code to not use
more memory than is available without resorting to swap space (e.g. on the
"super"computers here, if any one job on a node is excessively page faulting, then *all*
the running jobs on that node are terminated[*]. To avoid irate colleagues beating down
one's door, small memory-footprint applications are a good thing! :o)

Goodness! I don't have the foggiest idea what this means,
but I would have thought fast swapping would be a Good Thing. :-)
