Subject: Re: GO32 paging algorithm

The paging algorithm used to be round-robin.  Pages would get selected
in order, regardless of activity.  The current algorithm is supposed
to be LRU, with protection around IP and SS and the page being paged
in.  However, be aware that some access patterns will cause LRU to be
worse than any other paging algorithm.
