When I first heard that joke, I thought it meant "it forces you to swap frequently, even on a system with a (luxurious) 8 MB of main memory". But is it possible

When I first heard that joke, I thought it meant "it forces you to swap frequently, even on a system with a (luxurious) 8 MB of main memory". But is it possible that it means "it forces you to swap frequently with its 8 MB binary image"?
- IncRnd 9y agoI suppose it works either way, but I've always understood that to be about the size of emacs. Size meaning not just the binary, but that emacs is practically an OS unto itself.
