Looking at Pathalias and Xenix

[William E. Davidsen Jr]

I am trying to understand why so much memory is needed to build the
database. I build everything on my 386 system, every entry in the world
plus all of the domains. Looking at the accounting records I see that
the process tops out at about 1.4MB. Since that fits nicely in memory
there's no question of paging be involved.

Can someone shed some light on why the 286 needs more memory? I used to
build a reasonably large subset on a 2MB AT until I moved the job to the
386 (for speed).
