with it feature all coLinux unused memory will be
aviavable for windows. It get realy increase usability
coLinux. For example: in background about 20 P4 in our
laboratory can use free cpu time for our claculation.
Users have native windows, and coLinux vm on it with
low priority, they are work in windows, but all unused
cpu and memory resources used for calculation or load
balancing, with pvm or other clustering software.

I know using coLinux swap and windows file cache will
free memory for windows, but when coLinux write page in
cahed swapfile windows must save it to disk. if coLinux
have highly swap usage, it increase disk usage for
writing and decrease windows disk operations perfomance.

    As of coLinux 0.6.2 Linux allocates it's memory dynamically
    as need up to the limit specified in the configuration file.
