Is virtual memory turned on? That might explain the performance
difference between read-only and read-write access. MOL (and MacOS)
is faster with VM off, although I haven't experienced a
dramatical difference. Anyway, I recommend running MOL without
VM (or RamDoubler) and let linux handle any paging.
