[plug] thin client efficiency

Amusing... from:

"But there are other ways of improving thin-client performance: veteran 
terminal vendor Wyse, for example, in January launched Expedian, a 
Windows Terminal Server add-on that seeks to improve server performance 
by keeping frequently-used application DLLs in memory so they don't have 
to be reloaded when many users are running the same applications."

I've been making use of that at work to minimize the memory footprint of 
OO.o and Mozilla on our thin client server. It's funny because that's 
the default, automatic behaviour under linux - load the executable once, 
share the read-only memory image across all instances. Same for most 
UNIXes I think. Aah, the little bonuses you get in a free OS - "what, 
you have to /pay/ for that usually?!?".
