That&#x27;s a loaded question.<p>If <i>I</i> (with training in how to design an OS and the risks of handing nonzeroed pages to another process) were them? It&#x27;d be part of my standard process for designing a memory repurposing library. But I can 100% understand how this mistake gets made; I wouldn&#x27;t be surprised if it wasn&#x27;t an explicit performance decision.
