Access from virtual memory is measured in [millisecs]; 
Access from physical memory is measured in [nanosecs]. 
 
If you can wait a million times longer than necessary, 
virtual memory, well, virtually does the job.  But why 
not help the industry and load the full gig?  Or 2 :-) 
Your dataset would fit so sweetly into a GB of DDR!
