But I have heard the paging on the Star is a terrible crock:
it does it by double lookup on every memory reference way down
in the microcode.  At this time it has no hardware to assist
paging (like associative memory for the TLAs) or even a
kludge like KL-10s have.  The (mis)feature makes it tough
to imaging the STar as a LISP machine host.
