I'm writing a high-performance server application (on Linux) and I'm trying to get a fast critical path. I'm concerned about memory paging and having memory swapped to disk (latency on order of milliseconds) during my operations.
My question is if I have a lot of memory on the server (say 16GB) and my memory utilization stays at around 6-10GB and I know there are no other processes on the same box. Can I be guaranteed not to have page misses after the application is started up and warm?
