Do you mean you're short of memory when you directly boot into MacOS, or 
that you're short of memory in Linux, when MOL is running but you don't 
use it ?

As far as I can tell about the virtual memory of MacOS, it made my mol 
(0.9.63-2) instable, so I disabled it, and allocated more memory to mol 
in molrc ("ram_size: 125"). This of course is fine to me because I very 
rarely boot directly into MacOS ...

Hope those few remarks can bring you any further

Cheers

Francois
