Just look at how much memory is shown for the xconq process in "ps".
Granted, you have to bother to check....

I suppose this would the best way of getting an idea of how badly
paging affects xconq's performance. I suppose one could try to have
some other process allocate a bunch of memory and keep accessing it
(which I suppose in some ways better resembles many real-world
situations), but the mem=64 thing is simpler.
