Your assumption is right.
Constant swapping is performed, called SHADOWING in this group.
This slows things down for, e.g., a terminal emulator.
This is the reason a ST terminal emulator which forks and then exec's the
reader and the writer exist.

In most cases, a forked-off process does an exec sooner or later, this will
stop this swapping.
