As I understand it, the allocation of physical RAM is a function of the operating system, not of Metakit or the application. If you have enough physical RAM, your entire database will be mapped there. If not, some of it will be swapped out.


That's just how Metakit works - it relies on the OS virtual memory system rather than building its own buffer pool on top of that.
