what are people's feelings about using the sticky bit to improve
interactive performance on workstations? would i be shooting anyone in
the foot if i turned on the sticky bit for our gnu-emacs editor? has
anyone tried this?

[[ I've often wondered just what the sticky bit does in a demand-paged VM
system. The documentation isn't what I would call descriptive about this.
I have a vague idea what it's suppsed to do, but what does it *actually*
do? --wnl ]]
