Emulating a processor core doesn't normally take a lot of memory, but involves a lot of computation, so it's faster to do it on your CPU without involving the SSD. I guess you may be asking if there is a space/time tradeoff that could be made. I guess you could imagine caching stretches of execution which would have the exact inputs and CPU state, a bit like the RR tool does... But would still be hard to overcome the SSD overhead in addition to the CPU running the emulation and caching logic and performing all the required SSD I/O. Interesting idea still.
