The major problem with what you are suggesting, is the limitations 
enforced by Windows' non cached memory allocator. This pool is 
hardcoded to a limit of 256MB and even 128MB on some systems. Allocating 
too much memory from that pool can destabilze Windows.

An FLTK fixable issue, I'll take care of that.
