If you aren't using the scripting language enough for it to get in the way, you're probably not using it enough for it to make things easier either. Just to be clear, I'm not saying it's impossible to strike the balance

The full mem-swap congo line is DRAM<->PCIE<->VRAM<->GPU. PCIE is the weak link, but I'd be willing to bet that those transfers are't 100% overlapped, and PCIE transfer rate represents best case speed as opposed

Not to mention that there is vacuum energy, which to me (total layman) would indicate that not only is there a medium, but it also has its own influences on the objects within it (like generating Hawking radiation from black hole horizons).
