  • I have a theory: this OS doesn’t know how to swap correctly. It either loads the whole APK or kills the scope/whatever the android term is (for things that aren’t set to always run.)

    I think this is because APKs are zipped files and thus the android developers decided that ZIP reads makes a ton of sequential cached file misses. So then it would have to been loaded from the storage. Back when android was made these were expensive, and slow.

    So it always loads the whole renamed zip :3
