I'm not sure abotu that, you'd likely have to ask Paul however I don't
see why you couldn't freeze all the packages and open them up
individually.

In fact, taking this one step further, it might be possible to write
an application that freezes every package on the card and only allows
one to a max of say thirty packages open at any given time.

As for swap space, I am doubtful since I believe the NOS is only able
to recognize 4MB.
