as far as i know it is not commited..im not 100 procent sure (as it 
would probably need to use soem tool that shows that, maybe there are 
some) but probably what i think is rught

windows will swap unused pages away from ram and it work in runtime
i mean if you declare 300 MB stack use it once and then for an hour you 
use only 2 MB of this the 298 MB of physical ram will nt be "taken"

it is not hard to do it in system i think just as aplication acces ram 
thry some table you may monitor once a time which regions are alocated 
and non used and "detatch " phisical ram ftom thsi area - then attach it 
if there is an acces -0 where this detach and attach is not very slow 
operation

thats how i see it..i readed something about this but not much and long 
time ago
