P- ¿Porque los programas necesitan tanta RAM hoy?
R- Porque los que programamos somos todos unos subnormales que no
sabemos optimizar nada y nos gusta tener todo en RAM y hacer mmap
a cualquier archivo que queramos acceder en vez de hacerlo como
dios manda (mmap: funcion que mapea un archivo en memoria, no
usar)
