plock Parameter
---------------

   (type=boolean, default=`yes').  Same as the `-S' option to Amd.  If
`yes', lock the running executable pages of Amd into memory.  To
improve Amd's performance, systems that support the plock(3) call can
lock the Amd process into memory.  This way there is less chance the
operating system will schedule, page out, and swap the Amd process as
needed.  This improves Amd's performance, at the cost of reserving the
memory used by the Amd process (making it unavailable for other
processes).
