A page fault is going to cost way way more then 1000 cycles, it&#x27;s going to be, at bare minimum(for major faults), your storage medium&#x27;s read latency, so 100 microseconds or more.  I&#x27;d think in many circumstances hitting a 3.3 microsecond latency to avoid a 100 microsecond latency is def. a good trade.  There might be an issue if you have to repeatedly pay that 3.3 microsecond vs. one time the 100 microsecond, but that&#x27;s getting into things that we can&#x27;t really know without knowing more specs about the stuff.<p>And I was more speaking about using it as a blazing fast non-volatile &quot;ram&quot; drive.  I know a standard ram drive is simple, but it&#x27;d be neat to install os and programs and such onto a drive with 2 order of magnitude better performance then a high-end SSD.
