Another feature that may be important to them is the ability to manually 
arrange the data/program (don't recall which exactly) in memory.  I know 
one of the things they were experimenting with to speed up the browser 
was changing how the loader loaded the various libraries.  Perhaps this 
is taking it a step further to ensure their products load as fast as 
possible.
