	Hmmm ... my guess is probably not while idle, although there might
be a performance hit when running.  If VM works at all under MacOS, I'm
assuming MOL is pretending to be the MMU (unless its kernel module is
directory editing MOL's PTE's), which would be pretty slow.  Samuel -
which method does the current version use for VM?
