That's the part I don't understand. AFAIK, all those "instructions from 
the system and FCP" are already in RAM, unless you're way low on RAM 
and having to resort to VM, which simply isn't going to work. IOW, all 
necessary parts of the program are loaded into RAM before the capture 
operation begins.
