WRT UNIX on Univac 1100 systems (well... Sperry?    Unisys?) under
OS-1100 (Exec 8 for us *oldtimers* -- did I really say *that*?)...

Unisys markets System V.? for 1100 series machines under the
name SX/1100.  It places a *large* load on the memory allocator,
which in turn can make system response seem "doggy".  Another
"product" called PEF (Performance Enhancement Feature) corrects
this my increasing the efficiency of the memory allocator.  This is
[in my opinion] a *bug fix*, but they still charge for it.  [I think
their Marketing people were trying to emulate Itty Bitty on this one.]
