To elaborate slightly: say you start up one of the programs you had
just closed - since it is still cached in memory, there is no need to
read the program from the disk. If you open another program, it can
overwrite that memory with no penalty. All modern OS's do this (even
that one from Redmond :-). Trust us - this is what you want.
